I have taken the snd-bt-sco driver from Jonathan Paisley and integrated it in the current kernel tree. From me it has been taken and the Bluetooth-alsa Project was born.

The btsco is now in cvs!

This is a snippet from the official Bluetooth-alsa Project page:

BuildInstall or update the required packages: automake-1.7
libao-dev (known as libao-devel on rpm systems)
libbluetooth-dev (aka libbluetooth-devel or bluetooth-devel)
libasound2-dev (aka alsa-devel)
a recent 2.6 kernel with *integrated* alsa enabled (it won't work with the "standalone" alsa drivers that are a separate download from the kernel)


Check btsco out from cvs:  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bluetooth-alsa login cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bluetooth-alsa co btsco

Compile:  ./bootstrap ./configure make make install make maintainer-clean

For SCO (two-way voice quality audio) you need a kernel with the emu10k1 driver selected (this is one of the drivers that forces the inclusion of the implementation of "snd_hwdep_new"). Build the kernel module:  cd kernel make make install make clean

Download (old version - newest in cvs)
