""""""""""""""""""""""-The A2DP HowTo-

1. Pair your A2DP headphones.
2. Click on the Bluetooth "B" icon in the status bar, then "Bluetooth settings..." -> Devices. Select your headphones from the list and click "Edit." Carefully write down (on a piece of paper or on your computer, not your tablet) the letters and numbers you see next to "Bluetooth address:" Mine is 00:07:A4:B6:F9:71 for reference.
NOTE: The colons ":" are important. Write those down too! The only characters you will see are the numbers 0 through 9 and the letters A through F. No need to worry whether you're seeing an I or a 1, an O or a 0.
3. Download and install rm_you's package of mplayer, with a small patch that modifies how buffering is done: here.
4. Download and install the a2dp-support package attached to this post. Current version is 0.9.
5. Open up "X Terminal" and run:
Code:

a2dp runfirst

6. It will ask you for the Bluetooth address of your headphones which you wrote down earlier. Type that in exactly as it was shown and hit enter.
7. To enable a2dp support type:
Code:

a2dp enable

8. Now anything that uses mplayer (such as mediabox or kagu) will try to play through your bluetooth headphones! To switch things back to normal and make mplayer play through speakers/wired headphones just type:
Code:

a2dp disable

Bonus: Don't like using the terminal to switch modes? Download and install osso-statusbar-cpu from here. Once it's loaded and running in the statusbar, tap on it, then "Settings" -> "Commands" -> "New." For "Description put "Toggle A2dp" and for Command type:
Code:

a2dp toggle

Now you can toggle a2dp on and off just by tapping the cpu-statusbar app then "Toggle A2DP"!""""""""""""""""""""""""
