&gt; Good to see another Gentoo user.<p>Hai! :D<p>&gt; I was avoiding PulseAudio on my desktop, but it&#x27;s feels necessary on a laptop, especially if you use Bluetooth.<p>You know, I was gonna say &quot;But I had A2DP working JUST FINE with bluez-alsa, and JACK knows about anything that ALSA knows about!&quot;... and then I started digging around and learned that bluez-alsa hasn&#x27;t worked since BlueZ 4.x. :&#x2F; [0]<p>Guess I have <i>another</i> project in my queue. :P Hope I can get it in-tree without <i>too</i> much hassle.<p>[0] I guess that tells me how long it has been since I&#x27;ve paired a Bluetooth headset with my laptop! ;)
