Hi Florian,

Hi everyone,

I have a BT headset lying around which came with my mobile phone. However, I don't use it with my mobile, so the idea crossed my mind that it could be possible to use the headset with my linux server to make phone calls using the ISDN system.

I'm quite sure that this _is_ possible, as I can receive and send an audio stream via ISDN4Linux, and the same applies (more or less) to the headset via BlueZ.

There is a telephone application http://www.antcom.de/ant-phone/ which I have tried with a cable headset.

The question is now whether there is already some soft- ware to achieve this, or whether I'll have to start from scratch (BTW: is there any FAQ on how to send and receive audio streams from a BT headset?)

There is also some BT headset driver for ALSA
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~jp/snd-bluez-sco/ which I haven't tried (yet).

Regards.
Matthias

has anyone tried this application with the capidrv? For example with a AVM B1. I own one, but mine is build into the wrong machine for such tests and I need it there. I run some tests with a BlueFRITZ! AP-ISDN and call management stuff seems to work, but I don't hear anything on my soundcard.

Is there anyone who will spend some time in adding native CAPI support to this application?

Regards

Marcel

In my setup, I used capidrv and a BlueZ cmtp connection to a BlueFritz! AP-X (and a cable-headset), and it worked although I got large latencies. Also see my post(s) at the ant-phone mailing list:

I guess Roland has to be asked this :) I cross-post this to his mailing list as well.

This is definitely on the TODO list. I hope to get more time for this soon.

Feel free to contribute. Unfortunately, ant-phone is currently quite /dev/ttyI* based.

bye,
