<p>Hmmm. Way too complicated probably, but if you can actually get the device to pair and sink it as an audio device, then you can do this: <span style="font-family: monospace">mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth</span> and it may or may not require ~/.asoundrc that looks like</p>
<pre>pcm.bluetooth {
type bluetooth
}</pre>
<p>I heard audio at least one time from my headphones via mplayer that way...at least before the batteries ran out. Open question: Why doesn't it just show up like a normal alsa device? Meh.</p>
