Intone 0.60 Almost Stable ;-)

[Staley, Daniel L]

Alright....I figured out how to get intone to work with my bluetooth headset!  I have to start a song, pause it and then start it again...but thats alright.

All my keys worked great  (same key codes as other poster)
Occasionally I have problems with the play/pause...but it doesnt look like mine is from the code being sent twice (intone doesnt report it twice anyway).
It looks to me like the error occurs after I used the previous key, and then tried the play/pause key.  When that happened intone gui shows on the play/pause toggle button a play button (when it should be a pause)
and just keeps on playing the song.

I got time outputs of:  (not sure what these are...)
time - 1248187227.222462
time - 3.214989
time - 115.908660

I occasionally get a message from intone that says "Cannot stream to bluetooth!" and it cuts out and switches back to the internal speaker.
I ran mplayer from the command line and saw that mplayer actually outputs:

[AO_ALSA] Trying to reset soundcard.
[AO_ALSA] Write error: Broken pipe 16.4%  (or whatever percent of the song its on)

 I can make the pipe break pretty regularly when I touch the screen.......but if i dont touch anything it works fine...
(it looks like this is alleviated some if I set mplayer's nice level lower...)

Hope this helps!  And thanks for the great work!  It is already very usuable with my bluetooth headset!

Okay, I paired my A2DP headset (Lubix UBHS-NC1 ...from woot a couple of
weeks ago)

And I can get mplayer from the command line to play music to the headset
(Though I have to play once, ctrl-c, then play again to get it to
work...it seems like the headset needs something to wake it up before it
will accept the stream...and then after a bit of nothing streaming, it
times back out and I have to do a fake run of mplayer again....)  It
sounds great though when its working!

However, I cant figure out how to get it to play to the headset from
intone.  Is there something you have to pass it to go into bluetooth
mode?

I know my commands are getting recognized from the headset to the moko
when I press them because the screen turns on....would love to help by
submitting more codes!
