[Bug 253197] [NEW] Property "hint" in ~/.asound.conf not supported by bluetooth-alsa

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Binary package hint: bluetooth-alsa

OS: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Package version: 0.5cvs20070908-1

I'm using the Motorola S9 Bluetooth headset and I've added the following
to my ~/.asoundrc:

pcm.bluetooth {
	type plug
	slave {
		pcm "bluetooth_hw"
	}
	hint {
		show on
	        description "Motorola S9 Bluetooth headset with conversion"
	}
}

pcm.bluetooth_hw {
	type bluetooth
  	device xx;xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (my Motorola headset address)
	profile "auto"
	hint {
		show on
	        description "Motorola S9 Bluetooth headset"
	}
}

When I try to use PulseAudio:

pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=bluetooth

The following error is reported:

ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.c:1422:(bluetooth_parse_config) Unknown field hint
E: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device bluetooth: Invalid argument
E: module.c: Failed to load  module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=bluetooth"): initialization failed.
