That looks like the onboard headphones, mic, and speakers on the
laptop. I should not have used the term 'master', sorry.

hardy2 at hardy2-laptop:~$ alsamixer -c1
-- here I get the alsamixer ncurses interface for "Card: BT Headset".

Got you, we will get there in time. Thanks!


Regarding the device1 [BT Headset], I would like to point out the following:

$ aplay -D bluetooth -f S16_LE test.wav
Playing WAVE 'inOut/fromFirefox/mosquito-17KHz.wav' : Signed 16 bit
Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo

$ aplay -D "BT Headset" -f S16_LE test.wav
ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM BT Headset
aplay: main:546: audio open error: No such file or directory
hardy2 at hardy2-laptop:~$

Only the first command returns sound via the headset.
