Nope, PulseAudio is required to get out-of-the-box support for Bluetooth audio devices. This is the case in Fedora, and will be the case in RHEL-6.

*** Bug 651217 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Reopening bug, because gnome-bluetooth shouldn't depend on pulseaudio-module-bluetooth.

If Fedora should have out-of-the-box support for Bluetooth audio, it should be solved by adding pulseaudio-module-bluetooth to "Gnome Desktop Environment" and not by creating this artificial dependency. The functionality of gnome-bluetooth doesn't simply depend on pulseaudio.

I have netbook with bluetooth and use it for connection between computer and phone, but I don't have enough performance for pulseaudio. This dependency forces me to use pulseaudio when I want to use file transfers over bluetooth or establish internet connection from my cell phone.

I've tried to remove pulseaudio and pulseaudio-module-bluetooth without dependencies and gnome-bluetooth works as expected without problem.

It's still not a bug though. Other Bluetooth managers are available.

It is still a bug though. Bluetooth audio is not only feature provided by gnome-bluetooth. As it was already described in Comment 3 gnome-bluetooth _doesn't_ require pulseaudio.

Please reconsider your opinion once more. You will not break anything with "correct" (in sense of reporters point of view) dependencies and you'll make your package much more friendly.

Honestly it doesn't seem to make sense to remove "all stack of features" because of one. I already stated current setup is not much "Friendly", even more it doesn't fit neither "Freedom" nor "Features", all three are key values of Fedora.

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Hello, once again, I'm re-opening this bug since I believe that such dependency for this particular package is not needed.

In addition pulseaudio is required by gnome itself today, so there is no need at all to force this dependency by this package. Yes there are other bluetooth managers, but why to make people life harder?
Using gnome-bluetooth with this dependency and without pulseaudio is harder, way more unclean than some note that pulseaudio-module-bluetooth (which has self-explaining name) needs to be installed for working "sound over bluetooth".

Please re-consider this and make this piece of software more friendly for non-gnome and non-pulseaudio users. Thanks.

If you're not happy with gnome-bluetooth, remove it.

You really don't like users, do you?
