A few minutes after reading your post, I had my Altec Lansing (erm, Plantronics) 903/Rs working with Audacious, Adobe Flash Player, and MPlayer via PulseAudio. Thanks for the idea! I think the only thing I need to sort out is the initial connection, since if I disconnect the BT headphones, PulseAudio moves the audio stream back to my internal sound card (and it looks like there's an option for that), but connecting the headphones requires a complete delete & re-pair. l2ping, etc. works, but PulseAudio isn't made aware of the new output device. - Mark -- Mark Kamichoff p...@prolixium.com http://www.prolixium.com/
