Ok... my bluetooth dongle has a CSR chipset which I believe is the best supported for SCO on linux. I'm on my second or third dongle since I began my own journey. :) I have used my headset in full duplex with a small python app I'm developing. The app uses the ALSA APIs to open the device. The way the direct ALSA API works is the device is opened once for capture and once for playback. Before giving up on bluez audio I would try a test with running aplay and arecord at the same time in different windows with the same sampling rate, etc. to see if that works. I don't have time to find an example commandline right now.
I have tried to layer dmix and dsnoop on top of the bluetooth device (via the .asoundrc) to no avail. dmix balks that the bluetooth plugin is not the right type of slave device or something. That would have allowed multiple apps to open the bluetooth device at the same time and would have simplified some things in my app. Perhaps Twinkle is trying to do that. At some point I'm hoping that switching to pulseaudio will solve this. It's the next-gen audio daemon and sounds like it can replace dmix and dsnoop.
