Yay! Nice one. I'll test it out this week. It looks fun.

Ahhh, that's going to rock, quite literally. I've got a SoundBlaster 
BlasterAxx and a new set of Sony BT headphones. I'll try it with both.

Hmm, does it have any noticeable delay? Ie.. could it be used to send 
output to a recording monitor without any significant delay (for live 
monitoring while playing music) ? If you don't know off hand, it's not big 
deal. I'll just try it.

I have a two mixers hooked up to my main NetBSD workstation (though I 
sometimes move them to an SGI workstation). One for input, one for output. 
I'd love to be able to add a high bitrate BT DAC on a channel for both 
sides (know of any good ones you like?).

Just like a CDDA converted to PCM WAV would be, right?

Does that buffering result in more jitter or delays? Again, I'll fiddle, 
but just curious about your experience.

What fun!  Great work.
