Getting buez5 working with ALSA?

Hello!

I tried to follow the instructions on wiki, but failed to get the bluetooth headset working.

I installed bluez4 - but appartnely it used libraries from bluez5, and there's no snd-bt-sco module in the kernel.

The bluetooth stck can see the headset and pair with it, however alsamixer doesn't have any new device, neither aplay does.

my .asoundrc looks like

pcm.btheadset {
   type plug
   slave {
       pcm {
           type bluetooth
           device 00:11:67:D3:9C:2E
           profile "auto"
       }   
   }   
   hint {
       show on
       description "BT Headset"
   }   
}
ctl.btheadset {
  type bluetooth
} 

What else I should try (except installing pulse?)

Thanks!
