William:
When I got my pi3 in march Bluetooth worked with the latest rasbian.
From the Raspbian release notes<http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/release_notes.txt> it looks like the wifi and bluetooth support was added in the 2016-02-26 release. The latest release of 2016-05-10 just seems to be adding the bluetooth features to the taskbar.
The R/Pi Ubuntu Mate<http://%20https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/> might also be worth a try. They claim: "Ubuntu MATE 16.04 also has fully working Bluetooth and Wifi on the Raspberry Pi 3". I expect that PulseAudio is included in this Ubuntu distro. Peter:
I'm interpreting this as "volunteering" for the next meeting? ;-)
Hmmmm... So I've got 9 days to get it to work. Bit busy with other things at the mo. Will let you know if I find the time to work on this and have any success stories to present. Lawrence:
I believe that PulseAudio is transparent to applications written to work with ALSA.
Possibly its the installation process of doing the addon of PulseAudio applications to the Raspbian distro that is causing it to be more opaque than transparent. With the latest Raspian distros including PulseAudio, then I might have more success. cheers, Ian. ________________________________________ From: wlug-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz <wlug-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz> on behalf of Lawrence D'Oliveiro <ldo(a)geek-central.gen.nz> Sent: Saturday, 14 May 2016 12:59 p.m. To: wlug List Subject: Re: [wlug] Raspbian Linux OS Gets Major Update, Adds Bluetooth Support to Pi 3 On Fri, 13 May 2016 23:01:19 +0000, Ian Stewart wrote:
In inserting PulseAudio, then your applications have to be aware that PulseAudio has been inserted, and so they need to be told not to try sending their audio to ALSA but to send it to PulseAudio. (...Or maybe they do still go to ALSA and ALSA turns it around and sends it to PulseAudio which then sends it back to ALSA?)
I believe that PulseAudio is transparent to applications written to work with ALSA. Basically, PulseAudio redirects all calls to the ALSA client library to itself, which then makes the calls to the "real" ALSA... _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: https://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug
