Can someone, anyone, explain the interactions between bluetooth and the FM transmitter? The problem I have is that during my commute, I use the FMTX to listen to podcasts in the car. If my bluetooth is actively paired with the N900, and I pause media playback when I am using the FMTX, the FMTX shuts itself off after about a minute. If my bluetooth set is not paired, FMTX will remain active for about 5-10 minutes.

It seems almost as if the bluetooth takes priority over the FMTX. Is there a way to reverse that so I don't have the FMTX turning itself off?

I looked at /var/lib/pulse-nokia/fmtx.parameters and /var/lib/pulse-nokia/bta2dp.parameters, but neither of them make sense to me. Can someone possibly explain the interaction between the two subsystems to me?

Thanks,
