Both A2DP and AVRCP will be officially supported in Fremantle. Thank you very
much to the patient supporters of these features.

Fremantle keeps looking more and more like the sort of awesomeness that can't help but be back-ported to the N8x0, tossing whatever shiny bits won't work and keeping stuff like this.

I've been reading maemo-commits and I know a lot of commits have been happening to the bluez.

That's excellent news! Thanks for posting that! I can't wait to be able to have some hi-fi on-the-go bluetooth happenin' stereo pumpin' headphone action when it does. Freaking yee-hah!

Can't wait!

Good! I hadn't touched the Bluetooth functionality of my N800 for a LONG, LONG time (for probably well over a year since owning my original unit, I think) and, now that I've started poking around at Bluetooth, I'm starting to really like it a lot.

Afaiu, the sbc encoder will run on the ARM and use the simd features of the Cortex to (presumably) make it fast and power efficient. At least that was the impression I got from the summit.

Anyway, all good news

So is fremantle going to be available this year? Or is it only for the new tablet coming next year?

The first version of "Fremantle" (in SDK version) will be released as an alpha next month. With some hacking, you may get it - or one of the betas - working on a Beagleboard.

Running it on a tablet - before release - might be possible; it's not clear yet. Running it on a tablet - after release - is more of an unknown: it may or may not be officially supported on existing hardware.

Looks like the Alpha SDK was delayed for December as seen here:

Okay, I hope this is where I should post this.....

I just installed this package last night and so far it works great. However my main media program, mediabox, which so far as I have read is supposed to play its music through mplayer, has not played through my headphones as a2dp. When I use mplayer by itself it plays perfectly but through mediabox it is using hts. Did something change in an update to media box? Does it now play through the osso-media-server and if so is there a way to change it back to mplayer. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I searched for an answer to my problem for a long time and finally hit a dead end. Any help is appreciated.

I just got a pair of Samsung SBH500's for Christmas and am having problems getting them to work with a2dp. I followed the instructions, but when I try to use mplayer with a2dp enabled I get this error:

Code:

alsa-lib: pcm_bluetooth.c:1589:(bluetooth_init) BT_GETCAPABILITIES failed : Input/output error(5)

I'm not sure if this is a problem, but I noticed that under bluetooth devices it lists supported profiles as only "HFP, HSP". (the headphones are supposed to support a2dp)

Mplayer works fine with my headphones without a2dp turned on, but the sound is of course crappy.

I had the same problem, a restart and a re-pair sorted it out for me.
