[Asterisk-Users] bluetooth audio and asterisk

[trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com]

Has anyone successfully used a standard bluetooth enabled system to
connect to a standard bluetooth enabled mobile phone (not the bluetooth
to FXS converters) to create an audio path for phone calls with
asterisk, if so is there a writeup on what was done so that others can
replicate this.

What I am thinking is that via alsa/oss/whatever you should be able to
use the bluetooth audio channel as a speaker and microphone to talk to a
mobile.  The catch is of course sending dialing information via
bluetooth from within asterisk to cause this to properly occur.  SMS
could also be sent/received via bluetooth and converted to SIP IM for
example thus giving more devices accessability to asterisk 'out of the
box'.  And given cost, many bluetooth dongles can be purchased for $30
USD or less, this would create a lower entry price for people to use
this technology.

Cellsocket.com for example is a phone->FXS adapter, they are $100.
Someone this last week mentioned a bluetooth system that is similar, but
afaik both devices do not allow for SMS to be trafficed via asterisk,
and both cost more than a bluetooth dongle.

I know that linux does support bluetooth via qualcomms BT API, and I
would imagine that other systems also support this.

Thanks
