[pulseaudio-discuss] Audio routing on Bluetooth handsfree unit

[Burkhard Stubert]

Hi chaps,

I am trying to build a demo for a handsfree unit (HFU) in a car. The HFU
connects via Bluetooth to a mobile phone (the audio gateway or AG in
Bluetooth speak). I could then play music on the mobile phone and hear it on
the car's speakers. The HFU would also take over the phone functionality. I
could talk over a microphone in the HFU and hear the other person talking
over the car speakers.

The HFU will run on Linux. I use pulseaudio v0.9.19 as a mediator between my
app and the Bluetooth audio device.

Does pulseaudio support this scenario, where the Bluetooth device acts as a
source?

Actually, I think that the Bluetooth device would have to act both as a
source and a sink (the caller and the callee). Right?

Page http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/Modules#module-bluetooth-sink indicates that
Bluetooth sources will only be supported in the future. Are they supported
in v0.9.20 or newer?

Thanks,
Burkhard
