[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#464501: bluez-audio: A bluetooth headset can't be used to record sound.

[Chao-Cheng Wu]

Package: bluez-audio
Version: 3.24-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I've been successfully config my bluetooth headset to playback sound by
using any player I have, such as amarok, mplayer, xmms, but it can't
record sound.

When I use
$ arecord -D bluetooth -f S16_LE | aplay -D bluetooth -f S16_LE

nothing is recorded!

The exactly same bug can also be found from Mandriva Bugzilla in the

please include this patch ASAP. Thanks!
