You can install pulseaudio 0.9.14 from the GNOME:Factory repository
[1]. First download the file GNOME:Factory.repo from [1] and then as a
root add the repo "$ zypper ar GNOME:Factory.repo" . You should be able
to install the 0.9.14 then. If you have any kind of problem, tell me.
I would like to help you. I am going to install and test this version
too.

Now I have it installed.



No link helps to make the bluetooth (BT) headset visible to application.
The BT sound devices do not create /dev/ entries on their own. At
present the BT sound devices in openSUSE communicate with ALSA
soundsystem only. Thus you can use BT headset with applications which
support the output configuration to specific alsa device
(specified in ~/.asoundrc) [2]. If your application does not allow this
kind of configuration you can also try to set the default alsa device to
your BT headset too. This will help of course only if this application
sends the output to alsa.

could you explain how to make the bt headsets the default alsa input and
output?

I have tried with this

in .asoundrc
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
pcm.btheadset {
type bluetooth
device "00:0E:16:02:22:4D"
profile auto
}
ctl.btheadset {
type bluetooth
}

pcm.dsp0 { type plug
slave.pcm "btheadset" }

then launch the application with aoss

ie:

aoss ./Teamspeak

the application accepts devices like

oss: /dev/dsp

i set this /dev/dsp0

but the /dev/dsp0 get not redirected to the btheadsets.

the application gives no error and display my device as active, but i hear any
sound



is the

pcm.dsp0 { type plug
slave.pcm "btheadset" }

right?


as a side note, the pactl load-module module-alsa-source device=btheadset
still breaks pulseaudio


Thanks
