Please add me too! I'd also be happy to test any SCO beta stuff
you might have or get. We want to make software phones.
I have seen several requests for using a Bluetooth headset for audio
input and output. Here is one I happened to see the other day. And of
course add me to the list who needs to get a SCO link working.
I have heard about others using for example an ipaq with windows ce,
bluetooth, wavelan and SIP phone software make wireless
(bluetooth+wavelan) phone calls with good results.
I could almost see it work for myself today. I tried out the beta
of the TDK windows driver that is supposed to work OK with their
pcmcia card, but not yet so good with the USB dongle I have.
I can confirm the latter, something chops up the audio in both
directions with the same interval as the dongle blinking, some 2Hz.
I suspect the dongle firmware.
Anyway, what was nice was that when audio comes through it sounds
almost about as good as a POTS phone call (with the old first
generation ericsson HBH-10) and the latency (I tried a DVD movie)
was seemingly pretty good (not all that easy to tell when the
audio is chopped up, but I think so).
I have no idea which of the three audio formats, ulaw, alaw or
adpcm, that the headset supports that the driver choosed to use.
I do think that Apple should get support for it asap, and
preferably make the sound manager glue for it too.
People are already using their bluetooth headsets for telephony,
and I doubt that interrest will decline any time soon. It would
be sad if it couldn't be (easily) done on a Mac OS X machine.
If it was just a little programming to do I could try out my
ericsson rok101007-based dongle (with BT 1.1 firmware) on
Mac OS X, I am pretty sure that one works ok with SCO, but
emulating the entire stack, if so only for one single purpose,
seems a little bit heavy for just testing purposes considering
the time I currently have available for this project.
Whom at apple should we talk to to get more SCO support in the
Mac OS X bluetooth stack sooner rather than later?
