That link is out of date/no longer the way to do things. ;)

Instead take a look at:

http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices

Basically you should just need to populate your ~/.asoundrc with your
headsets bluetooth address and it should work.

Sadly, here I get the "sco packet for unknown connection" error, which
is apparently a kernel issue with encrypted/non encrypted
connections. ;(

Hope that helps, and please let us know how it goes.


I created a .asoundrc file and was successful in pairing my headset,   However nothing else is working.
This is on mplayer
<snip>
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_bluetooth.c:1505:(audioservice_recv) Error receiving data from audio service: Success(0)
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_bluetooth.c:1521:(audioservice_expect) Bogus message BT_SETCONFIGURATION_REQ received while BT_SETCONFIGURATION_RSP was expected
[AO_ALSA] Unable to set hw-parameters: Invalid argument
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Audio: no sound

I found another post on getting the headset to work. It might help you.
http://fedoraforum.org/forum/printthread.php?t=190468

I get even though pulseaudio service is running,
Connection failure: Connection refused
Connection failure: Connection refused

when running,
pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=bluetooth
pactl load-module module-alsa-source device=bluetooth


This whole fedora implemetation seem to be a big mess of infinite dependencies and broken things. Who whould no pulseaudio volume control is not part of pulse audio and not installed by default? Google is your friend for everything.

Anyway, I'm out. I'll try this only if there is something promising or a fedora developer who knows this stuff is willing to help to get this going.
