Hi all,
I've acquired a pair of wireless headphones; the type thathas a USB
dongle that plus into amy machine and uses analog FM to communicate
with the headphones.
These JustWorked(tm) under linux, but now I'd like to have audio
(either PulseAudio or ALSA) auto switch to the headphones whenever
they are plugged in.
Is this doable? Any hints?
ALSA can definitely detect the jack insertion. However, it requires a
user-space app that is paying attention to the "switch". It won't do
it automatically. You can either investigate PulseAudio, which is
certainly used for this purpose on a variety of mobile devices, or
you'd have to write an additional app yourself.
sorry this is not more helpful.
