Unfortunately that is not the case, I've been playing with BT headsets for weeks, and have not got a 
peep out of one (I've tried several), I have not even got a2dp working either.

I did get it all working on my desktop so I could understand Bluez, however it seems it is easier on 
a desktop because it is all S/W, the FR routes BT audio directly into the audio chip and bypasses 
S/W altogether, at least that is the theory, but no one has yet been able to get that audio path to 
work, or get a combination of audio pathway and bluez configuration.

I'm glad more people are asking, because there has been ZERO response from OM on this issue and 
there has been a ticket on this issue for 20 months! http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/113

If someone does get this working please update the wiki. I have given up I've spent way too much 
time on this issue, and to be honest I think OM needs to investigate why it is so hard... Is it even 
possible?

> Good Luck

You will need it.
