I'm definitely enjoying the pulseaudio and bluetooth integration when it comes to my bluetooth headset on my Fedora 11 laptop. Using the headset with SIP based VOIP is less of a chore now. I wish my nokia 810 had this level of bluetooth audio integration.

Last time I checked, pulseaudio's bluetooth support did not include the microphone part (source). Has that changed? If not, then pulseaudio has nothing to do with your VOIP use.

Well I guess PulseAudio in Fedora 11 is lying to me when its letting me choose my Plantronics headset for sound input.
and I guess sound record is also lying to me when its recording my voice while I'm walking across the room from the laptop using the bluetooth mic at the same volume as if I'm sitting right next to it.
If its a conspiracy to fake support for bluetooth audio input in the UI...its a really good one.
So uhm, when exactly was the last time you checked?

Last week. I would love to be wrong. I use pulseaudio, but I have to set up my headset (Jabra) in ~/.asoundrc.
Aha! Checking the git sources, src/modules/bluetooth/module-bluetooth-device.c does define a source now! Woo-hoo! Looks like it was added in the past week.
Sorry. That's what I get for reading release announcements, documentation, and the mailing list rather than the source.

Just verified it's working with Debian now, too.
(And strike the "added last week" part. I only looked at the shortlog, and it's not mentioned.)
