Hi there!

Setup:
XBMC nightly 13-20130724 (but I also tried earlier nightlies and the default version of XBMC that comes with Raspian 12-20130504)
Raspbmc
Raspberry PI B rev. 2
Addons: Raspbmc settings
Raspbmc has a setting to enable/disable AudioEngine. I tried both (not sure if this actually does anything, I didn't notice any difference)

Issue:
I have a Bluetooth Speaker which I can connect to my Pi. It gets picked up by blueman and set as an audio device, at which point I can make it known to ALSA with the following /etc/asound.conf

Code:

pcm.!default {
        type bluetooth
            device 00:02:3C:26:BA:87 # change this MAC address using the command "hcitool scan"
            profile "auto"}

Pulseaudio does not pick it up, because there is some weird permission problem with the bluetooth module and I cannot make it use ALSA as a sink, because the module-alsa-sink fails with a non-descriptive error message.

Yet, I can make mplayer use the ALSA configuration with

Code:

mplayer -ao alsa http://robtowns.com/music/blind_willie.mp3

or if I remove pulesaudio with

Code:

mplayer http://robtowns.com/music/blind_willie.mp3

Unfortunately, XBMC does not pick this up at all.

In the audio menu, I only have two options: Analog and HDMI. They output to the headphone jack and (probably) the HDMI, but not to my bluetooth speakers. Also, I saw in some screenshots on the net that there are supposed to be more settings in the audio output settings screen (like here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/145052/xb...-and-pulse), but my dialog only has the topmost option, which chooses between Analog and HDMI.

I also tried using advancedsettings.xml to that end, but to no avail:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
<audiooutput>
        <audiodevice>ALSA:beide</audiodevice>
        <passthroughdevice>ALSA:beide</passthroughdevice>
    </audiooutput>
</advancedsettings>

Is there any way to tell XBMC to use my default ALSA device, which is a bluetooth speaker? Or does XBMC ignore ALSA completely?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)
