The SCO link will, from what I understand, not be directly available to

Since a SCO link would require userland calls as entry points into the

kernel, I think Apple is trying to not to allow bad things that could

happen. These are just my thoughts.

Linux and FreeBSD mask these entry points pretty well by using the standard socket API (although only Linux supports SCO links at this stage due to FreeBSD having some problems with isochronous transfers that are being worked on). It doesn't matter too much whether Apple decide to expose SCO as an audio driver or a raw stream, as long as the more interesting Bluetooth profiles can be implemented with the result; I'm especially interested in Handsfree. -- Anil Madhavapeddy http://anil.recoil.org University of Cambridge http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk _______________________________________________ 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.
