[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#538769: bluez: bluetooth audio does not work on freerunner

[Sebastian Reichel]

Package: bluez
Version: 4.42-2
Severity: important

Because of bug #532098 I wrote myself a small script, which will connect to my
bluetooth headset:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
BT_BDADDR='XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'

### stop editing ###

_BT_ADAPTER=`dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez / \
    org.bluez.Manager.DefaultAdapter|awk '/object path/ {print $3}'`
BT_ADAPTER=${_BT_ADAPTER//\"/}

echo "Adapter: $BT_ADAPTER"

_BT_DEVICE=`dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez $BT_ADAPTER \
    org.bluez.Adapter.FindDevice string:$BT_BDADDR |awk '/object path/ {print $3}'`
BT_DEVICE=${_BT_DEVICE//\"/}

echo "Headset: $BT_DEVICE"

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez $BT_DEVICE \
	org.bluez.AudioSink.Connect
-------------------------------------------------------------------

This script runs just fine on my notebook and my desktop (both are
amd64 systems and both are using bluez 4.x from debian unstable).
After executing the script on these systems I can use
mplayer->alsa->bluetooth to play music/sound/...

But on my Openmoko Freerunner (arm based) I get the following error
message:

elektranox at freerunner ~ % bluetooth-audio
Adapter: /org/bluez/1775/hci0
Headset: /org/bluez/1775/hci0/dev_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Connect" with signature "" on interface "org.bluez.AudioSink" doesn't exist

My systems are fully upgraded to bluez 4 stack of course:
