| 17:56:49 | Mutiny | does bluez have the ability to connect to a bluetooth headset and send the data to the soundcard? |
| 17:57:29 | edd | in theory... but not deployed yet |
| 17:57:34 | edd | i think some people have done some tests on it |
| 17:57:51 | edd | the idea is to have a /dev/dsp device hooked up to the headset |
| 18:42:01 | collord | "tests" as in someone has actually gotten that to work? |
| 18:43:17 | Mutiny | is there any way to get audio from a headset? |
| 18:43:54 | edd | collord: there was some mention of it on the mailing lists in the past |
| 18:43:58 | collord | we would assume that it would work bidirectionally if it works... |
| 18:44:02 | collord | edd: thanks |
| 18:44:14 | collord | edd: bluez-dev or ? |
| 18:45:24 | edd | dev or users, i can't recall |
| 18:45:26 | edd | try users first. |
| 18:45:44 | edd | use SCO as one of your keywords |
| 18:47:41 | collord | ah cool |
| 22:38:58 | edd | anyone awake? |
| 22:39:12 | collord | no one useful. |
| 22:39:17 | collord | except you. |
| 22:39:44 | collord | er, n/m |
| 22:40:05 | edd | heheh |
| 22:40:12 | edd | just wanted to show off the4 day's hacking |
| 22:40:16 | edd | http://heddley.com/edd/2002/10/28/phonemgr2.png |
| 22:40:31 | edd | beginnings of a useful tool for managing cellphones in gnome |
| 22:40:47 | edd | it's an applet that connects to a phone via rfcomm and listens for text messages |
| 22:40:57 | edd | probably more useful to european users who get more text messages... |
| 22:41:03 | edd | but it's a start :> |
| 22:41:25 | collord | no, seriously? |
| 22:41:30 | collord | you can do SMS over BT? |
| 22:41:47 | edd | sure. there are AT codes for it |
| 22:41:51 | collord | ah |
| 22:41:53 | collord | interesting |
| 22:42:47 | collord | so will phonemgr be a dialer too? |
| 22:42:59 | edd | it could be, certainly. |
| 22:43:34 | collord | or do you think it would be best to interface to another dialing gui... |
| 22:43:46 | collord | (which i have lost track of frankly) |
| 22:43:53 | edd | depends if there's one for gnome2 or not |
| 22:44:35 | edd | i've got plenty of work left to do |
| 22:44:36 | collord | yeah |
| 22:44:44 | collord | any work on btexp? |
| 22:44:51 | edd | more of the effort was getting a gnome2 applet going |
| 22:45:09 | edd | some btexp work will be leveraged, actually. |
| 22:45:24 | edd | for instance, phonemgr needs to have a configuration dialog where it presents a list of ports to listen to |
| 22:45:32 | collord | gppp doesn't sound like it's being ported to gnome2 fwiw |
| 22:46:05 | edd | hmm, i see ppp belonging in some different app. not thought too hard about that one |
| 22:46:39 | collord | oh, that's what i meant by dialer |
| 22:47:00 | edd | oh, i thought you meant something that'd dial a number in your phone's memory and switch it into handsfree mode or something |
| 22:47:03 | edd | which would rock too :) |
| 22:48:06 | collord | indeed |
| 22:48:47 | edd | i may stray into the realm of ppp config |
| 22:48:55 | edd | it depends how we allocate rfcomm ports. |
| 22:49:12 | edd | ideally ppp modem setup from the point of view of the user should be by identifying a BT address |
| 22:49:18 | edd | not some random /dev/rfcomm0 |
| 22:52:06 | collord | well, yeah, isn't it a pretty good guess that /dev/rfcomm0 dev |
| 22:52:21 | collord | would be primarily used for this though? |
| 22:53:50 | edd | no, i don't think so. |
| 22:54:02 | edd | for instance, my r520m has 3 serial ports available via BT |
| 22:54:08 | edd | i connect one for PPP acccess |
| 22:54:19 | edd | one to listen to incoming SMS on |
| 22:54:26 | edd | and i leave the other one free |
| 22:54:41 | collord | i didn't realize they were divided like that |
| 22:55:01 | edd | i just choose those functions for them; to BT they appear equivalent |
| 22:55:06 | edd | all of them are virtual modems. |
| 22:55:45 | edd | iirc OBEX uses RFCOMM too, so i should leave one RFCOMM channel of the phone free to be able to do OBEX exchanges. |
| 22:56:03 | edd | agh, time for bed. |
| 22:56:11 | edd | later... |
| 22:58:27 | collord | night |
