Configuring BlueZ to provide audio sink service

Hello all,

I am currently working on a line-audio over Bluetooth solution. My plan is to play audio on my tablet PC in Windows Media Player and have it played on my desktop's stereo system. It would seem that this would be possible using A2DP, setting the tablet as the "source" and the desktop as the "sink." I am having trouble, however, configuring BlueZ to provide the "audio sink" service. Google searching doesn't turn up much, mostly information on configuring BlueZ to be the source.

If anyone has some pointers, suggestions, etc. I would be glad to hear them. I plan to post all my findings and complete documentation on my procedures on the Web when I am finished.

It may be important to note that the desktop is running Gentoo Linux (2.6.22) and the tablet is Windows Vista Ultimate x64. The desktop has an HP BT450 USB Bluetooth adapter and the tablet has a built-in Broadcom.

Thanks,
Dustin C. Hatch

a2dp source hasn't been reimplemented inside bluez yet. Check out the old prototype--see the bottom of
