I've written a little app called mbluetoothd
see:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=26809
It can execute commands when bt devices connect/disconnect. You can use the a2dp enable and disable commands and so a2dp will be turned on or off when the connection to your headset changes.

Hello,
Regarding A2DP performance on N800/N810. Using the latest diablo firmware, a2dp-support_0.9_all.deb package and nothing else, we get the following profiling statistics (Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo WAV file played with aplay for 100 seconds), the results are consistent across multiple runs, CPU was set to run at 400MHz:
CPU usage is split between kernel and bluez SBC encoder more or less evenly and the bluetooth driver consumes quite a noticeable share of cpu time. Applying attached patch (tweak of UART FIFO buffer settings) to the kernel reduces CPU usage in the bluetooth driver. The fix for UART FIFO stuff for the bluetooth is available in pre-alpha fremantle kernel which was released to the public. I just did some tweaks which should work better on N800/N810, but of course somebody else can probably improve it more (reading OMAP1 and OMAP3 documentation about UART and "interpolating" it for OMAP2). Even better optimization would be to try using DMA in the bluetooth driver, but that may be a bit harder.
With the patch applied, the profiling statistics changes to the following:
CPU usage in the kernel gets lower and there are less interrupts generated. On the other hand, bluetooth transfer speed may become a little bit smaller.
As for the SBC codec alone, it takes ~7% of CPU on N800/N810. With ARMv6 SIMD optimizations (which are still to be done) and the latest SBC encoder from upstream bluez project, I expect that this time might get halved.
Alternatively, DSP can be used for SBC encoder (port to it is done by lardman). But ARM<->DSP communication overhead is also kind of can of worms and may (or may not) kill the benefits of offloading some work to DSP.

I've got these headphones: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1185267960408
and I have followed the instructions from the first post and everything seems to work. But I'm still not getting stereo audio. When I look at the headphones info on my n800, it says supported profiles: hfp, hsp but does not list a2dp. I also have not gotten the stereo audio to work with my bluetooth dongle on my pc. Are my headphones defective or am I missing something?

Serge, I honestly have no clue what you just said. I just know it was something good. I hope that means that I will be able to use A2DP without to much significant battery drain.

I've back-ported the Bluez 4.32 changes to the sbc sub-system to our version of bluez-utils (which sounds quite grand, but really just consists of replacing the contents of one directory with the contents of another 
). You can grab the file and overwrite your existing one (dpkg -i) and as it's the same version, it shouldn't break anything.
Note these are the userspace changes, I've not looked at the kernel stuff that Serge posted above (yet). Also note that I only changed the sbc subsystem stuff, there may be some other useful patches which make changes outside that subsystem. If anyone knows of any please let me know.

I tested packages from http://people.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/noki.../sbc/ARM-only/
mplayer eats ~ 40% cpu with ondemand goverment cpu.
How can I be sure that sbc encoding in use?
Here is output from mplayer:
...
Trying to force audio codec driver family dspmp3...
Opening audio decoder: [dspmp3] MP3 audio pass-through for Nokia 770/N800 (fake decoder)
ADecoder preinit failed
ADecoder init failed
Trying to force audio codec driver family libmad...
Opening audio decoder: [libmad] libmad mpeg audio decoder
...
Is it normal?
One more question.
I want to user panucci audio book player with a2dp.
The problem is how to start gstreamer with a2dp.

No idea if it's normal or not, will test this evening and see what figures I get. Bear in mind that the CPU has to do MP3 decoding followed by SBC encoding. Also, as you were using ondemand, what was the current CPU frequency while you measured these figures?

ondemand 165 Mhz cpu load ~35%-38%
What does it mean?
Any advice about using gstreamer over a2dp....
