Problem Playing music in bluetooth headset

[paladin007]

Hi
I have compiled Bluez 4.50 for arm and have installed it. The bluetoothd daemon is running fine. But when I enabled the blueoothd -nd & i get an error saying, Failed to access HAL. After a bit of digging, i tried installing hal on the board in vain. The hcitool scan runs fine and shows all the devices in the vicinity. I compiled agent.c from the test folder and am using it to pair in command line because i donot have python on the board. I see the packets getting txd and rxd in the hcidump when i try to pair with the headset. even the light in the headset changes after pairing. but i donot hear any sound when i play a *.wav file.

my /etc/asound.conf -->

pcm.rawbluetooth {
type bluetooth
device 00:1E:7C:00:4F:4D
}
pcm.bluetooth {
type plug
slave {
pcm {
type bluetooth
device 00:1E:7C:00:4F:4D
}
}
}

My .asoundrc --->
pcm.rawbluetooth {
type bluetooth
device 00:1E:7C:00:4F:4D
}
pcm.bluetooth {
type plug
slave {
pcm {
type bluetooth
device 00:1E:7C:00:4F:4D
}
}
}

aplay -D bluetooth some.wav
ALSA lib ../../../alsa-lib-1.0.15/src/pcm/pcm.c:2106snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/local/alsa/lib/alsa-lib/libasoundo
aplay: main:546: audio open error: No such file or directory

Please has anyone got any such error or any suggestions ... anything would do ...
thanks

Hi Paladin007,

I am not able to hear sounds from my Sony headset (DR-BT50) even though Blueman shows that it is paired and sending/receiving.

I created and added similar, seemingly appropriate items in my .soundrc file. Also downloaded and installed the latest Blueman version, 1.21 from blueman-project dot org - The Blueman Project, which had me hopeful, because the settings changed and more line items appeared in the Pulse Audio Manager.

I hope that the latest Ubuntu 10.04 (impending April 2010 release) solves this problem. The new OS version is no longer using HAL, and perhaps that was part of it?

However, I can sync and send/receive files with my Nokia phone using Bluetooth, using Blueman directly.
