Motorola S9 Bluetooth Headset

Thursday 12 February 2009 at 2:21 pm. Used tags: , ,

So my friend game me a cute little birthday present, a Motorola S9 Bluetooth Headset.

Making it work under Linux was not very difficult but still has to catch-up in terms of utils.

To make the headset work, I just had to run a scan on the Linux host, and get the hw address and specify it in .asoundrc.

pcm.bluetooth {                    
    type bluetooth  {                     
        address = xx.xx.xx.xx.xx                
        description "Motorola S9 Bluetooth Headset"
    }                           
}                               

 And then to play a file, like in mplayer, you just specify the alsa device.

 mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth foo.ogg
 

KDE's Phonon currently doesn't show the Bluetooth Headset even if it is paired.

PulseAudio doesn't work good. (I couldn't make it work in my limited attempt)
