(Get the code!)
I just wanted to add my experience with this.
While I can get my Sony bluetooth headset dr-bt21g to play music with pulse-audio or simply bluetooth plugin of alsa, it's far from a perfect experience. It plays okay on a 2.1 profile bluetooth notebook, skips more frequently with a 2.0 profile notebook. Also the pitch can change with the quality of the signal, it plays on a higher than a lower pitch, changing by the second or ten second. I don't even have to move the device.
Meanwhile under Windows with the broadcomm drivers it's extremely hard to get any skip, and pitch doesn't change at all. So I concluded that the bluez stack and kernel drivers are just not good enough yet, i guess mostly for prioritizing lost packets resend. I will try to contact the bluez devs later.
Anyone with a solidly working headset and extra settings that we don't already know of from this thread?
(The worst thing is that having an android phone HTC hero which uses bluez, I can experience a rather similar issue, but it's far less serious, small skips and occasional slight pitch change.)
