Using Bluetooth-Headset with Fedora Core 3
When I bought my mobile, my provider offered a bluetooth headset for free in addition.
This is what i did to get it running with Fedora Core 3
First have a look at http://www.gargan.org/linux/snd-bt-sco/
Install the following necessary packages:
automake
autoconf
alsa-lib-devel
bluez-libs-devel
libao-devel
alsa-tools
Checkout the cvs-repository:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bluetooth-alsa login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bluetooth-alsa co btsco
Then build the userland-daemon:
cd btsco/
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make install
Finally build the kernel module:
cd kernel
make
make install
depmod
Now install the kernel module:
modprobe snd-bt-sco
For testing I used xmms. Just run the daemon
btsco <bdaddr>
Start xmms, select the Alsa Output Plugin, click on configure and select your headset as Output Device. Now play your favourite music and enjoy it.
