title: Android 5.0 Bluetooth A2DP Sink
body: <p><em>I have a very specific answer for which I am looking. I hope that there is someone out there that is smart enough as to point me in the correct direction.</em></p>
  
  <p><strong>Background:</strong> I have an Android phone (LG Power on 5.0 <em>rooted</em>) as well as a Nexus 10 running 6.0. In my house I have set up a very nice PA system to which I would love to stream audio. I am fully capable of plugging in a 3.5mm cord to listen to audio or to stream audio over WiFi.</p>
  
  <p>However, I am a stubborn person and have always fancied the idea of streaming audio from one device to another via bluetooth. After all, Android is Linux. </p>
  
  <p>After searching on the Internet, quite extensively, there seem to be MANY people who would love to find a solution. There are answers ranging from:</p>
  
  <p><em>'This cannot be done',</em> </p>
  
  <p><em>'Why would you ever want to do that?'</em> 
  to </p>
  
  <p><em>'Here are all the things to may need. Build away. Oh and by the way, there may be more that you need'</em></p>
  
  <p>I do not find these answers satisfactory and would like to put out there a request to all of higher intelligence than myself to find an easy (not requiring building a custom ROM, modifying the kernel, making my own application etc) way to achieve this goal.  </p>
  
  <p>Here is one source that seems to be very close to the answer:

  <p><strong>If any  more info is needed, PLEASE ASK!</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for all of the hard work and effort that is put forth on this site. I am truly thankful for all of the people willing to set aside time to help myself, an invalid when it comes to the intricacies of Android. </p>
