I just tried this via A2DP, and the trick it to turn on Bluetooth in the Control Panel, and the BT feature in Kagu and leave Kagu running in the background, without playing any songs. Then insert the command line for mplayer (like listed above, or edited for whichever stream or channel), and it starts streaming thru the Bluetooth headphones or speakers. I was using both WiFi and BT, and there was *no* skipping...maybe just once or twice every minute. Sound quality was just like Kagu.

@ trevarthan - I bet this functionality can be worked into Kagu eventually...easy for me to say, right?
Finally i got it working..... But to tell the truth i was rather disappointed!!!. It is still not ready for regular use..... i mean it pauses once atleast every 3 seconds. Definitely not usable. Is there any development going into streaming internet radio using ad2p. Can it be done??

Anyway thank you trevarthan and your group for giving us this wonderful application called kagu. I got my new nokia bh 601 headset and configured it. I am enjoying it. Now i will be waiting for streaming radio and skype integration with ad2p. I hope it comes soon. I cant wait.

But one small problem .... the scanner crashes when i try to download art. I ran it in xterm and saw the file causing the problem. But did not know what to do. So what am i supposed to do with the result from xterm??

Thanks for everything;
