xmms + bt headset not working

Asked by trylik

note, that i'm talking about different laptop than in my previous request

i did everything like on this site:
http://bluetooth-alsa.sourceforge.net/build.html

but when i go
"Configure xmms
run xmms, go to prefs (control-p), change output to alsa, click configure, change device from default to a2dpd and select [use software volume control].

If this is a combo headset, turn off your phone first! (Otherwise, the headset will be complicating things by trying to connect to two devices at once)

Turn the headset on in pair mode and hit play in xmms. On the first connect, you should get a popup asking for the pin. Then audio should start.

If your set can do AVRCP, it will be set up to do track advance/pause/stop/play through xmms command-line control. To make AVRCP work with different clients, you'll need to customize ~/.a2dprc."

and i change the device - there is no a2dpd, there is only "BT headset", but even when i use it, xmms doesn't play anything

what should i do?
