I have set up sound to a jabra halo bluetooth headset and it works using |
| 2 |
"mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth soundfile". This works fine for apps |
| 3 |
like mplayer which can specify the right output device. |

|
| 5 |
However, I want to use espeak (in a console) to play back text files - |
| 6 |
its a good method to check grammar - but I cant get it working? It |
| 7 |
works out of the box on a nokia n900, but I cant figure out how to get |
| 8 |
gentoo (gnome desktop) to do it. espeak doesnt support specifying a |
| 9 |
sound device that I can see - it uses portaudio which is supposed to |
| 10 |
work with alsa bluetooth but how? |
| 11 |

| 12 |
It looks like bluez is continually changing so most of the guides Ive |
| 13 |
found dont apply - I am using bluez-4.39. alsamixer etc dont list the |
| 14 |
bluetooth device and I cant see it in /proc/asound, but its obviously |
| 15 |
there if mplayer can access it! |
