Bluetooth-alsa question: possible to use phone itself as headset?
Hey folks,
I got a 3650 (also named the 'play bone') and would like to spare money for a headset. The phone has bluetooth and so I thought, why not use the phone itself as headset? It seems this is not supported yet, but would it be possible? Connected (wire) to the phone I also have a headset.. Could _that_ be used via bluetooth? That'd be soo great, I wouldn't have to get another headset. then again, I doubt... ah please just give me /your/ opinion on the matter, /you/ are the devs after all. thanks & kind regards
Marcel

Bluetooth-alsa is about supporting the BT headset profile, and the phone won't implement it. Phones support the handsfree profile, you can find a link to two projects on our homepage that might be usefull, i.e.

As far as I know, we would only need to implement headset profile in the phone side. I think this shouldn't be impossible, after all Symbian OS has public API for RFCOMM, L2CAP and SDP socket connection, and I think it is also possible to create SCO connections in a socket basis... So, what is the problem then? Even in the assumption that we managed to develop the headset profile I think NONE actual mobile phone would let us hook the audio streaming from/to the microphone/speaker to/into a SCO channel. It is physically posible, of course because the AudioGateway profile embedded in the phone just do it, but I'm afraid we have no public interface to get this functionality (I'm not Symbian developer, let's hope somebody tell this is not true!).
Maybe phone manufacturers are too dependent on the Telephony Companies requirements to allow this nice functionality which would lead us without doubt to make VoIP calls from the phone if it detects the presence of the appropiate service running in our home's box.

As I said, the problem is in the interface phone|bluetooth, and with an external headset the same interface is still present
