Bug Description
You have recorded something with ardour or rosegarden, want to hear it in the train or library and all you have is a bluetooth headset?
Admittedly Bluetooth isn't about the main goals jack wants to archive: It is neither low-latency nor high quality. But many bluetooth devices supporting the a2dp protocol provide a quality that is more than sufficient for everyday's work, for some tasks latency doesn't really matter this much -
but as long as jackd doesn't support bluetooth you might not even be able to start up your favourite application. Fixing this would be hard, though: bluetooth audio isn't supported by alsa, but only by pulseaudio.
There exists a workaround, though:
- open terminal „pactl load-module module-jack-source“
- open pulse audio preferences from the panel
- select input: jack source
- select output: Bluetooth device
open terminal „pactl load-module module-loopback”
Attention ever use first „pactl load-module module-jack-source“ then plug on the bluetooth device. The other way around the module load fails.
Would making loading the pulseaudio jack source module automatically do any harm?

By the way; the „loopback” can cause some seconds latency over the time.
