[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#532098: bluez-alsa is silent, but mplayer complains loudly

[Harald Dunkel]

Package: bluez-alsa
Version: 4.40-2

Hi folks,

I would like to make the a2dp headset the default audio device on my
laptop (the built-in speakers are just too awful). /etc/asound.conf
says

	pcm.!bluetooth {
		type bluetooth
		device 000:19:7F:6B:9A:04
		profile "hifi"
	}

	pcm.!default {
		type plug
		slave.pcm "bluetooth"
	}

But when I try to play a song using

	mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth mix/Genesis\ -\ Carpet\ Crawlers.ogg

then it complains:

Playing mix/Genesis - Carpet Crawlers.ogg.
[Ogg] stream 0: audio (Vorbis), -aid 0
Ogg file format detected.
Clip info:
