help regarding audio streaming over Bluetooth

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc.multimedia (More info?)

Please let me know when you complete the project. I need such streaming to run it over my i-mate JAM in order to be able to listen to my music files through bluetooth headset.
Thanks,

The curent bluetooth driver for A2DP routes it directly from your audio, so
there is no special code required when writing the MP3 piece. Basically
write the MP3 player, install the A2DP bluetooth driver and you are happily
streaming your music.

If you want to look at some existing A2DP hardware on the market check out
HP's Bluetooth headphones for the Ipaqs. It might be of some help, and it
does provide the A2DP driver (and bluetooth stack update) for several Ipaq
models.

Of course your Laptop will have to offer an A2DP service for the PDA to link
with if you pln on piping the audio over to it.

As for extended stacks, are you saying that you are using a video bluetooth
profile? Now that is interesting, but outside of some development work I
have never seen it on the streets. Stereo (A2DP) is just now becoming
mainstream

Good Luck
