Hi,
G'day all,
After looking elsewhere in the forum, I created the .asoundrc in /home and asound.conf in /etc file as below:
pcm.btheadset {
type bluetooth
device 00:0D:3C:A6:CC:55
}
Below is the line in /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal cups alsa samba bluetooth fam sshd virtualbox)
The bluetooth applet (sorry I could not cut n paste the screen)
shows the Nokia BH-501 headset and three bars orange, green and blue and says connected.
From the command line:
mplayer -ao alsa:device=btheadset /data/Music/somesong.mp3
plays fine.
edit:I use alsa. Pulse is not installed.
Question is how do I get the sound when I play a song / movie in smplayer or vlc ?
regards

You need to choose the btheadset device. If the app doesn't support that you may need to make it default.
Why not just use Pulseaudio? Makes it much easier.

thnx ngoone.
Oh no particular reason for not using pulse. Just things are working fine (without bluetooth for smplayer, vlc etc) so far.
Any pointers to use pulseaudio and bluetooth headsets ?

In the preferences of both programs (smplayer and vlc) I could not find <btheadset>

Well, assuming your pulseaudio is working fine, the 'pointers' are just:-
1. Pair with device using bluez.
2. Move your stream to the bluetooth headset in pavucontrol (you may need to select A2DP in the Configuration if your headset supports it, not all do).
You need to choose the btheadset device. If the app doesn't support that you may need to make it default.

Then try setting btheadset as default in your .asoundrc. Not all programs support non-commandline (or even CLI) selection of alsa plugins.
