| 06:56:04 | edd | hey :) |
| 13:01:33 | Oryn | hi |
| 13:01:41 | fusero | hi |
| 13:01:55 | Oryn | anyone know if audio is working in linux bluetooth yet? |
| 13:45:03 | nchip | how to find out is a device bluetooth class 1 or class |
| 14:03:03 | edd | didn't even understand the question |
| 14:03:36 | Oryn | waits |
| 14:03:55 | edd | Oryn: some people have had some success |
| 14:03:58 | edd | but there's no general support yet |
| 14:04:07 | edd | check out the archives of the bluez-users and bluez-devel list |
| 14:04:28 | edd | i think the strategy is to be able to connect a /dev/dsp<N> device ultimatley, but we're not there yet |
| 14:05:30 | Oryn | ahh, thanks |
| 18:05:56 | collord | the more i osmose about the drivers for bluetooth the happier i am |
| 18:06:14 | collord | i had the impression a lot of stuff was locked down at the silicon level |
| 18:06:37 | collord | if l00nix can support things like audio though... |
| 18:07:09 | collord | expands exponentially the application uses for BT |
| 18:07:23 | edd | yeah :) |
| 18:07:28 | collord | for so long the usage scenarios for BT were so tightly controlled |
| 18:07:29 | edd | bluetooth headsets for voice control... |
| 18:07:54 | collord | yeah, using a bluetooth headset with VoIP on a linux-based box when i'm in the office |
| 18:08:03 | collord | with the phone when i'm out... |
| 18:08:11 | collord | pats his T68 |
| 18:08:40 | collord | oh, and I found in FCC what should be a much more affordable headset than the ERICY |
| 18:08:46 | collord | should be available soon |
| 18:09:02 | edd | good. my source for this sort of stuf fin the uk is www.expansys.com |
| 18:09:10 | edd | has no spare cash right now, unfortunatey. |
| 18:09:38 | collord | oh, please some time apply for grant from linuxfund.org |
| 18:09:48 | collord | e.g. if you're going to open that cool BT browser |
| 18:16:38 | collord | sorry for polluting a purely geek conversation |
| 18:16:41 | collord | just a point of interest perhaps |
| 18:17:10 | edd | pollute away |
| 18:17:16 | edd | i normally ramble on about all kinds of things |
| 18:17:58 | collord | hah. |
| 18:18:42 | collord | i'm just saying it would be really nice to have your BT browser available and useful as the drivers get "there" too. |
| 18:19:05 | edd | yeah, i mean to get some time to develop it |
| 18:19:16 | edd | i'm also struggling as to what's the best way to integrate it into the user interfacee. |
| 18:19:27 | edd | i'm just packaging the new bluez-libs/utils drop now |
| 18:19:33 | edd | and i have to say, the rfcomm support is *sweet* |
| 18:19:49 | edd | it's crying out for a gui configuration tool. |
| 18:19:58 | collord | is that fairly stabilized right now? |
| 18:20:04 | collord | rfcomm in the kernel i mean |
| 18:20:11 | edd | if "2.3-pre3" is your kind of version number, yeah :) |
| 18:20:17 | collord | yeah |
| 18:20:18 | edd | it'll be in linux 2.4.20 |
| 18:20:24 | collord | i mean, it works. |
| 18:20:25 | collord | ;-) |
| 18:20:27 | edd | seems to work |
| 18:20:35 | edd | i've only done 'ATI3' at my phone with it so far |
| 18:20:45 | edd | trying to solve some other interesting packaging issues right now. |
| 18:34:39 | collord | hmmm |
| 18:35:05 | collord | having parallel or integrating a wifi and BT gui configurators would be cool |
| 18:35:38 | collord | the wifi stuff is so stoneage |
| 18:36:03 | collord | apradar is a good idea, haven't checked in on it in a while |
| 18:36:16 | collord | but the distros really need something in this space |
| 18:36:25 | edd | yep |
| 18:36:39 | edd | currently learning more than he wanted to know about devfs |
| 18:37:16 | collord | ah, that's where it is? |
| 18:37:30 | collord | the wireless extensions are still ioctl blah and /proc/ |
| 18:37:39 | collord | i think |
| 18:37:50 | edd | nods |
| 18:37:57 | edd | most bluetooth stuff is ioctl |
| 18:38:03 | edd | but there's nice libraries to wrap ot |
| 18:38:05 | edd | wrap it |
| 18:38:12 | collord | ah |
| 18:38:18 | edd | i'm looking into devfs because of rfcomm |
| 18:38:32 | edd | i need to figure out how to create the /dev/rfcomm<N> devices on package install |
| 18:38:41 | edd | and need to support both with-devfs and without-devfs configurations |
| 18:38:57 | collord | so many ways to do things in linux, esp. debian |
| 21:15:57 | edd | hey |
| 21:16:02 | edd | wow, it's been busy today |
| 21:16:09 | edd | wonders if this channel's been advertised somewhere? |
| 21:16:14 | edd | all of a sudden 3 new people, in one day |
| 21:16:57 | bzdoug | cooool, when will this be ported to windows XP? |
| 21:17:29 | collord | wtf? |
| 21:17:30 | collord | heh |
| 21:17:46 | edd | did someone just drop the channel details into #troll or something? |
| 21:17:59 | collord | hey, i'm not a troller |
| 21:18:08 | edd | neither are you recent :) |
| 21:18:37 | heya | shoots at ibot |
| 21:18:39 | | ACTION takes two shots to the head and crumples lifeless. |
| 21:18:39 | heya | ibot die |
| 21:19:13 | heya | whats bluetooth? |
| 21:22:43 | edd | try Google |
| 21:25:56 | edd | shakes his head |
| 21:26:16 | collord | loads his gun |
