[pulseaudio-discuss] Who uses a bluetooth headphone/headset with PA?

[Iskren Hadzhinedev]

Hi there.
I’m using a Marmitek BoomBoom 540[1] headset on Slackware64 14.1 (+multilib) with the 
following setup:
Kernel 3.10.17
Bluez 4.99
Alsa-lib 1.0.27
Alsa-plugins 1.0.27
PulseAudio 4.0
I’m using the default PA configuraiton.

Since Slackware doesn’t ship PA by default I had to rebuild some KDE modules and Kmix from 
source to enable the nifty stuff PA provides. Then I selected the bluetooth headset as 
preferred for all categories.
>From there on I had no problems. Whenever the headset is connected the audio gets routed 
to it automatically and when I turn it off, laptop just keeps playing through the speakers. It’s 
not perfect because there’s no automatic switching between the a2dp and hsp profiles when 
a VoIP call is established, e.g. Skype or Viber, but I have a script bound to Meta+F2 that 
switches the card profile so I can use the headset microphone when needed.

Let me know if you need details on any of this.

Cheers,
Iskren.
