Hi !

I have a Motorola HT820 BT headset which works out of
the box with SUSE 10.0

CVS compiles fine , kernel 2.6.13, kernel module loads
fine. I have been able to use SCO support for VOIP calls
when I select the correct ALSA device.

This headset does a2dp stereo sound as well. So I
wonder if the bluetooth module can be extended to
support this as well.

I can send music to the headset with a2play. Work fine.
I wonder however if it is possible to support headset
profile and a2dp at the same time. Supposedly it is
possible.

I really have no clue how it should work but I guess
provding another alsa device for a2dp could work.

Incoming calls should pause the music and play a
ringtone on the sco alsa device. Ending the call
should switch back to playing music.

Thanks for your excellent work as GNU/Linux supports
this headset better than MS Windows already. I tried it
on a Windows box but the bluetooth dongle doesn't even
support a2dp on Windows. It does on Linux. Great work.
