[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 564841] Re: sound track progress bar disabled when using banshee with a bluetooth headset

[Anish]

Hi Chow Loong Jin,

Please see the responses inlined:

"""
you are meant to use pulsesink and then use the sound preferences or
something to do with PulseAudio to shift Banshee dynamically to the bluetooth
headset. Why don't you try that instead?
"""
That is what I try to do initially but it has never worked for me till date and I have to use the aforementioned command.
The Bluetooth headset in question is a Dell BH200 which has never worked out of the box(i.e. with a GUI) with Ubuntu.

"""
This actually sounds like a Gstreamer issue.
"'"
Do you mean this bug should be reported elsewhere/reassigned?

Cheers,
Anish Mangal

Bug Description
===========
When trying to play mp3 soundtracks in banshee music player with a bluetooth headset as the audio playback device, the soundtrack progress bar does not progress from left to right but remains stationary at the leftmost end. Dragging the progress bar left/right also doesn't work. However, the number of minutes and seconds the current soundtrack has been playing for is correctly shown beside it in plain text.

The command I use to select my bluetooth device as the audio device is

user at host:~$gconftool -t string -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/musicaudiosink "sbcenc ! a2dpsink device=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
