May I ask a few technical questions, based on the svn head state of kbluetooth: 1. Am I right that OrgBluezAudioInterface::Connect is only called when you pair the device for the first time, and not when the device connects thereafter? 2. If so, is this a problem? And what does that Connect call actually does? Bluez source code looks like it's establishing AVDTP session, whatever that might be, so presumably this must be called each time a headset becomes available. On the other hand, my current manual setup appears to work without that method ever called, at least as far as dbus-monitor can tell. 3. What magic makes the device available to pulse? All instruction I saw involve manually adding pulse sink for the new device. Is KBluetooth doing it somehow? Thanks, Volodya These are great news — I am surely looking forward towards smooth Bluetooth headset support.

My mic even works in Mumble and Skype, which is awesome! My only issue is that I was not previously using PA, and since installing it, Phonon no longer sees my regular sound card. I can't get KDE to output sound to my speakers now. Any ideas?

Even with the latest bluez (4.62) and pulseaudio (0.9.21) and blueman; its still not a smooth ride. I think and I am not phonon expert, the fewer layers the better. I'm sure lots of people have rave things to say about pulseaudio but my experiences with it coupled with bluetooth and kde-4.4.1 does not fit in that category. @jospoortvliet

Though I wonder about the need to manually note the device address. Blueman-1.21 is able to figure that out on its own. Perhaps a look-see at how they do it would eliminate the need.
