[Asterisk-Dev] bluetooth audio driver interaction

[Brad Midgley]

Hi

I am working with a group doing a bluetooth audio driver on linux. 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluetooth-alsa/)

We're currently trying to decide how to tell an audio client (such as 
asterisk) that the bluetooth headset is connecting to the host or allow 
the audio client to notify the driver that it needs to bring up the 
headset connection (such as for an incoming call).

We currently use a daemon ("btsco") that sees connection events and will 
eventually initiate headset connections. Currently, the only way for an 
audio client to figure out what is happening is to notice the fact that 
reads and writes to the audio device will block when the headset is not 
connected. That behavior may need to change.

What would be the preferred way of delivering driver events back and 
forth from the asterisk point of view?
