Bug Description
Binary package hint: ekiga
gutsy
As per various blogs and forums, ekiga does not see and cannot talk to a typical bluetooth audio earpiece of the sort we all use with cell phones. While there are apparently a host of complex issues here, ekiga could at least learn to read .asoundrc and collect the devices from it, even if the alsa enumerator doesn't help it.

I was actually just about to file this bug my self when I ran across you're entry.
I own a plantroncs headset that works just fine while using the bluez audio server and a .asoundrc file. Ekiga however does not see the device nor have any way or me to enter it manually.
Idealy I should be able to go to the sound capplet and select the blutooth device as my deault for "Audio Conferencing" so that it could be used every were in gnome. Failing that, a way to get ekiga to use it via some manual setting would do.
This is really quite a annoying lack since I use ekiga a lot and being tied to my laptop via corded headphones is a pain. :)
Running gutsy, but willing to upgrade to hardy to help test any improvements in this situation.
