Maybe this a silly idea but I was wondering if it would be possible to simply redirect the sound going to the speaker, when we play MP3, to go to the bluetooth headset by adjusting a parameter in the registry.

Let me explain my rationale. I recently installed a bluetooth toggle on my pc and paired it to my Jabra 258. I started the media player and was expecting mono sounds to come out of my earpiece. Of course nothing happened until I went to the options in the media player to send the sound to my bluetooth device instead of the sound card and voila I got sound.

Now of course no such option exists on the mobile media player but perhaps there is a registry setting that can be adjusted to send to the bluetooth instead of using the internal speaker.

I realise that this would be then hard coded and to play back to the speaker would mean adjusting the parameter in the registry but its better than nothing. I also realise that it would not solve our headset issue but having read through all the forums with regards to widcomm, bluesoil etc the embedded BT stack still has not been overcome.

I also undertsand the need for an audio gateway stack but from a laymans point of view it does sound simple.

I love my O2 XDA II mini that has been transformed into QTEK, I-Mate and then Anasky and half the fun is playing with the rom and the machine to get the best out of it. I don't really care much for WM 2005 but if some bluetooth issues can be resolved then its the perfect machine for me (apart from the camera).

Heres Hoping

Best regards to all and keep up the good work
