Rainbow Liberation Instigation
I've been trying to get my Pandora to output audio via Bluetooth, but as I'm no techy even the most obvious things can trip me up.
I'm currently stuck as I don't *really* understand what I'm doing, and even though I tried to follow some other threads on the issue to the letter - I still have no joy.
First thing I would like some advice on is installing XMMS.
I activate Wifi, connect to my phone, open a terminal from the start menu and type this:
but after downloading and doing some other stuff it gives me this:
This is the part that I'm sure anyone who uses Linux and knows the commands can help me with.
My next issue is trying to determine exactly what to edit in the .asoundrc (that I found in my home directory) to enable Bluetooth.
Now I found some conflicting information... first:
Then I found this:
So as I said, I don't know what I'm doing... I've tried editing the file both ways and it seems to make no difference. I need someone to enlighten me in this area.
Finaly, what other settings do I need to change? Particularly in the audio players - Audacious and Exaile?
If you need further info (such as what I've already tried, and what Bluetooth headphones I have), this thread should fill you in:

sudo opkg update && sudo opkg install xmms

Code:
install: missing destination file operand after 'xmms'
Try 'install --help' for more information.

Ref:http://boards.openpa...oth +headphonesI just installed SuperZaxxon Final, and went to go through the rounds of getting my config files straight for setting up Bluetooth headphones for music.
There is an ".asoundrc" file used in the home directory that tends to be complicated and hard to track down. Not anymore after I tested a theory of mine. This is all you need to put in that file. If you want to toggle between headphones and standard sound, just name it ".asoundrc.bt" to disable it.
Code:pcm.!default { type bluetooth }
Then I found this:
Ref: http://boards.openpa...-audio-working/Yes, you still need to edit .asoundrc and heres what you do:
First, create a copy of .asoundrc under a different name, then edit your second copy in mousepad
There is a section that shows this:
Code:pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "softvol"
Make it say this instead:
Code:pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "bluetooth"
You'll also have to add the following to the bottom:
Code:pcm.bluetooth { type bluetooth }
Depending on the "sound output mode" you're in you want to name the file .asoundrc and change the other files name to something else, in my case I name the bluetooth one when not in use ".asoundrc2" and the normal one when not in use as ".asoundrc1" but you can do whatever you want so you remember.
Enjoy ;-)
Edit: When using an audio player and changing to Bluetooth out, make sure to restart the player so it picks up the change. Strangely only Exaile will work so far with Bluetooth audio out for some reason Audacious will not, no matter how I toy with the plugins =/
