I do not know bluetooth connection and sound etc., but I think it is 
worth to ask if ptlib supports bluetooth devices on the opalvoip-user 
mailing list.  If they say yes and if you can help a bit (compile ekiga 
yourself), we can fix the sentence in the wiki: "Ekiga should support 
bluetooth audio device exposed by ALSA but does not currently (2008-05)"...
