[Ekiga-list] Using ekiga with bluetooth headset

[Guillaume Bedot <littletux zarb org>]

Hello,

I'm currently using ekiga with a USB bluetooth dongle (ASUS WL-BTD202)
and a bluetooth headset (PROF PBH-6W).

It's quite tricky yet (patching kernel, pwlib, and compile several
software from CVS...), but works. thanks to the devs :-)

Here is a simple update of the patch that can be found on plugz's cvs,
to apply on pwlib 1.10.7 (and maybe some previous versions).  

I'd like to enhance the patch with detecting the headset, but don't know
how...

Should pwlib interact with headsetd to ask if a headset is currently
connected ?

Best regards,


Guillaume B.
