Now I cannot play anything over the headset:

hardy2 at hardy2-laptop:~$ sudo hciconfig hci0 voice 0x0060
hardy2 at hardy2-laptop:~$ sudo modprobe snd_bt_sco
hardy2 at hardy2-laptop:~$ sudo modprobe sco
(These commands I must do to start the bluetooth headset ability after a reboot)

hardy2 at hardy2-laptop:~$ aplay -D bluetooth -f S16_LE
inOut/fromFirefox/mosquito-17KHz.wav
ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM bluetooth
aplay: main:546: audio open error: No such file or directory
hardy2 at hardy2-laptop:~$ aplay -D "BT Headset" -f S16_LE
inOut/fromFirefox/mosquito-17KHz.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:~$
