We did a lot of improvements on a2dp on the bluetooth stack it will probably be on the next firmware ))) it will REALLY improve the cpu usage when using a2dp!

Made the change in the config file and now Canola playes stereo music beautifully over BT.
While this may sound strange (I don't know the technicalities), but I see much lesser music interrutions while playing thru Canola using mplayer continously rather than thru mplayer directly.

Of course outside of music playing, if I press the home button or any such thing, those functions do not respond at all, but Canola buttons (forward/back buttons keep working fine without any stuttering in music play.

While on mplayer directly if I even so much as tap on screen while music is playing, it will stutter a bit and pressing any other button or menu will absolutely worsen the music playback.

Just a feedback.
