Here is a solution of getting headset work on my Gentoo installation I currently use.
Caution: doesn't work with skype on 64-bit system (at least on my system it doesn't).

As seen on pulseaudio's mailing list: https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2009-April/003531.html
Quote:
So you want to get BT audio working with PA? Then please make sure to
run the following minimal versions:
bluez 4.35
pulseaudio 0.9.15 (final!)
gnome-bluetooth 2.27.4
kernel 2.6.29 with http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/kernel/git-bluetooth.patch?revision=1.2 applied

You can safely use net-wireless/blueman instead of gnome-bluetooth though. If you're a hardcore KDE fan, net-wireless/kdebluetooth4 from kde-testing overlay works too. You need to unmask it along with bluez-4* and put a modified version of pulseaudio ebuild to your local overlay as the in-tree-ebuild requires bluez-libs and bluez-utils instead of bluez package.
Code:

Kernel patch mentioned in the mailing list has to be applied manually, of course. Follow gentoo's pulseaudio HOWTO to set the whole thing up and enjoy! Works pretty stable and reliable for me, headset is detected as both source and sink automatically upon connection.

forgot about the formatting issue, add --ignore-whitespace to your patch options.

Oh, thank you!!!

I forget it every time! :)
I should print the "--ignore-whitespace" and put it on the wall somewhere in front of me!!!

Thanks a lot, it works.

Hi erikderzweite,
I am using bluez-4.39 with gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r1 kernel. I am able to record using two different headsets, but aplay fails. The logs are full of
Code:

hci_scodata_packet: hci0 SCO packet for unknown connection handle 0
bluetoothd[6156]: No matching connection found for handle 1

hciconfig -a produces:
Code:

        Manufacturer: Broadcom Corporation (15)

I patched the sco.c file in the kernel to use type=SCO_LINK only but the messages keep repeating. The dongle is Targus ACB10. Is it possible that it doesn't support audio playback?

Have you ever come across this type of playback error?

Thanks!

No, I can't recall such a problem. I'm not up-to-date with Broadcom chipset status though. Do you use pulseaudio or alsa method to connect to your headset? Have you tried
Code:
mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth some.file

Hi erikderzweite,
I am using alsa method. I've tried mplayer and aplay with no success. The heaset beeps but doesn't play anything. Recording works just fine. I just finished testing it on Windows XP, and I am able to hear the audio using the headset, so there is something in my gentoo setup that is messed up. I tried going back to btsco too, but using that, even recording was not working. It's an amd64 build.

Thanks!

I was just wondering if I still need to patch the 2.6.30-gentoo-r2 kernel and where would I find the patch for this kernel?

thanks

Have you already tried to use the same patch you used for a previous kernel?

Hi all, I'm trying to get a bluetooth headset working in Gentoo and I haven't found any info more recent than 2009. Could someone more knowledgeable please post an updated guide that applies now? The original posting in this thread is ridiculously old. Thanks.

Hi jemi, you are right, but I gave up since I've never be able to get it working. It seems to be very hard (read "impossible") now.

Quite the contrary, it got much easier now. You don't need any of the oldschool hackery, you just need pulseaudio with appropriate flags and e.g. blueman. In my case no tinkering needed at all. Once you've connected to the headset it will be recognized by pulseaudio as sink/source and you can move sound streams around.
My advice ̣— forget this forum and use pulse for your headset. The patch won't be maintained anymore as it is not needed.

Woow! What a great news!
I will try to see if doing what is dealed here, will bring me to use my bluetooth headset finally.

Thanks a lot.

EDIT: I tried to setup pulseaudio but it caused my system to not play any sound anymore. I came back to the previous configuration.
