Re: [GnomeMeeting-devel-list] Advanced support for bluetooth headsets



The first problem is that a BT headset isn't a reliable device
(battery empty, out of range, white noise generators...) so there
should be a secondary device to use. This is just an usability issue,
but a very important one: I don't like to loose calls.

The second problem is that we must establish the control link to the
headset and send a ring command to be able to receive button click
events. Otherwise, the headset will establish a connection with its
default audio gateway, who knows where. So the headset should always
ring if it's the default audio device, regardless of the sound event
device.

And, can a PWLib audio plugin answer a call or notify a generic user
action when the button is pressed?
