Description Luca Foppiano 2008-12-25 22:51:38 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm trying to make my bluetooth headsets working, and I'm using this guide:

http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices#Tryingpulse

when I use this command:

pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=bluetooth

I got this error:

Failure: Module initalization failed

in /var/log/messages I get:

Dec 25 23:43:50 localhost pulseaudio[2773]: alsa-util.c: Failed to set hardware parameters on plug:bluetooth: Invalid argument
Dec 25 23:43:50 localhost pulseaudio[2773]: module.c: Failed to load  module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=bluetooth"): initialization failed.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pulseaudio-0.9.13-6.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
Just following this guide: http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices#Tryingpulse

  
Additional info:

I tried using directly alsa and my headset worked; after adding this configuration

http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices#Knownissues

to my .asoundrc, I tried with mplayer, 

http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices#mplayer

and it worked.

Please use the native BT support in PA now which is available in Rawhide and will be part of F11. Going via ALSA is very problematic.
