MPlayer 1.0rc1-maemo.23.n8x0 shows that it has ALSA support on my OS2008 N800, but I still can't hear anything. I uncommented the 2 lines in the A2DP section of audio.conf. Is something else required? How can I tell mplayer the address of the headphones?

BTW, the same headphones were working fine with mplayer under OS2007, so I know they should work...

I installed UKMP and MPlayer (.23) in my N800 with the beta OS2008 (version 1.2007.44-4). I am using the Motorola BT820 stereo bluetooth headset and it works fine with both UKMP and MPlayer (sounds come out from both sides). I did not edit the audio.conf file.

Bachviet what exactly did you do to get this to work(i.e. did you install the copy of bluez used to do this on os2007) as i have been able to get this to work only by installing bluez and a2dpd, but this is quite buggy and choppy on os2008

Bachviet are you sure? Just cause sounds come out from both sides doesn't mean that the sound is stereo. Out of the box OS2008 should support mono, but you can immediately hear that the sound quality is plain awful.

It's probably just mono sound coming out of both sides as the Moto BT820 profiles show only HFP & HSP (no A2DP).

I want to edit the Audio.conf file but there is no edit command with X-Term.

How did you edit this file so I could try.

vi /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf

Edit the file but sound still comes out as mono on both sides.

I am almost certain now that it doesn't support a2dp out of the box and the reports that it does are either people seeing the config file or people using hfs compliant a2dp headphones. I'm going to have a go at compiling a current version of bluez with a2dp support and see if i can get it to install.

Its possible that some of this confusion might have been caused by me. If so, I apologize. After reading bug #667 i was fairly convinced that 2008OS would ship with a2dp. i've had no luck getting it working either, though.
thesandbag: good idea. keep us updated.
