I have a wired problem.

Bluetooth is wireless. :o)

I can pair, and connect a bluetooth headset using bluez-simple-agent and bluez-test-audio, no problem. I kan also record and play using aplay/arecord -D bluetooth.

But i can list the device in "aplay -l" og "aplay -L". My gees is that I am missing a ctl interface or a kernel module.

"aplay -l" lists kernel drivers, while "aplay -L" list devices for which there is a name hint entry in the alsa-lib configuration files.

The bluetooth audio driver itself is not a kernel driver (it's a user space plugin), and, apparently, its configuration file does not define name hints.
