Bluetooth - output device fails

[colbec]

I'm running OpenSuse 11.1 and bluetoothd with Blueman. Hardware is a Jabra BT2040 connecting to an MSI Starkey USB.

Recording with arecord works (even though arecord -l does not list the device), and playback of that file with aplay works through the headset.

Now to Audacity. I can specify the headset as input and output device, record works (but quality is quite poor), but output fails with "Error while opening sound device" - sample rate is 8000.

aplay of the same file works fine.

Any thoughts?

FWIW the output device info from Audacity is:
....................................
Device ID: 9
Device name: ALSA: jabraj
Input channels: 1
Output channels: 1
Low Input Latency: 0.064000
Low Output Latency: 0.064000
High Input Latency: 0.256000
High Output Latency: 0.256000
Supported Rates:
........................................

No info here on rates?

Do you know what rates the Jabra BT2040 supports? (from the Jabra BT2040 specifications)
Are you really using the 1.2.x version of Audacity?

My error, wrong forum, using 1.3.8 - should I repost there, or can the post be moved?

The manual for the headset does not say anything about rates. I just assumed that it would be very low. I will try some more.

Just to update this issue, it all came down to the bluetooth dongle. This appears to be a critical component. If it is weak you can ship software with it that bypasses the weakness but it is still a weak dongle.

I now have a couple of others, a generic and a Belkin. Both of these work with my headsets in linux and in audacity.
