I think this is too much, I don't want to setup asterisk for that.

Something in the line of:

 - http://wall4.soft.uni-linz.ac.at/_wiki/tiki-index.php?page=ProjectBluezHandsfree
 - http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/audio.html  (Section 4 -
Emulating a headphone)

Would be more interesting. While the second link just mention that
part of stack/profile is not implemented, the first say it should
work, but it doesn't work, message is:

connect: Connection refused
Error: Can't connect SCO audio channel @ 00:12:62:F9:A9:3C

I can receive call indication, accept, hang... but I cannot
talk/listen from Linux.

This become really interesting with mobile linux systems with
microphone and speakers going mainstream, like zaurus, maemo/770/n800,
OpenMoko...

I meant the driver you mentioned below.

Yep, I know your effort in this area. I'll also attend your talk at
Bossa Conference :-)
