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? /ragge _______________________________________________ bluetooth-dev mailing list | bluetooth-dev@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/bluetooth-dev Do not post admin requests to the list.
