ANN: Bluetooth Hands Free Profile on GNU/Linux
Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri
Hi all,
My company just released together with Intel and Nokia the first open source implementation of Hands Free Profile (HFP) that works with GNU/Linux. This allows your Linux device (GPS, Tablet, PDA, IVI) to behave as a headphone/car kit, sending and receiving audio on behalf of your phone. http://profusion.mobi/node/21 The solution is based on modern and excellent quality software such as BlueZ, PulseAudio and oFono. - BlueZ is widely used as the "de facto" bluetooth stack for Linux. - PulseAudio is becoming the industry standard audio solution for Linux, used currently by Nokia and Palm devices. Although you can see complains about earlier versions, the software is quite reliable and we got excellent results embedding it in products. - oFono was conceived by Intel and the same software architect that wrote BlueZ, Marcel Holtmann, and deals with networking and AT commands dispatching, doing the HFP configuration chat.
