Re: [Iaxclient-devel] Question about MacOSX, iaxclient, bluetooth

[Steve K. <st...@st...>]

John,

    I have a dongle for my mac (I think it's a Belkin, but it shouldn't 
matter), but I don't have a bluetooth headset.  If MacOSX supports it as 
an audio device, then you should be able to use it with iaxclient.

Currently, to do that, you'd need to set it to be the default audio 
device in your system preferences, but there's code in the library, and 
soon in the "iaxphone" (new name for "wx") client, Micheal is adding 
some support for setting audio input/output devices.

If you do get it, let me know if you see it there.  You might be able to 
find this stuff out in advance via google; I haven't looked into that 
yet.  (I think that for Linux you can set things up this way, but I 
haven't looked into how/if it works via MacOSX).

On a similar note, I can say that I use the MacOSX client all the time 
with a plantronics USB headset, and it works really, really well.  
Definately the best combination I've tried.  Super clear audio in both 
directions.  I'd imagine that if OSX supports bluetooth headsets, they'd 
also work really well.
