that's interesting... that should not be happening. does it happen all
the time, or, did it happen just once?

ahh... that's completely different (and long) story :)

in short, freebsd still does not have full support for bluetooth audio
:( that includes both real bluetooth audio (i.e. sco) and bluetooth
audio that uses l2cap (i.e. a2dp). i kinda started to work on sco and
put some preliminary code out there, but got distracted by $real_job.
someone recently asked about a2dp, but not sure where it went from
there.

sorry to give you bad news

thanks,
max
