Usage

om-gta02

Intone+mplayer (1 or 2):

The usage of intone + mplayer (1 or 2) is quite problematic under the freerunner: since most people don't have bass fix(I don't) bluetooth is mandatory for listenning to music trough hearphones.

Setup

• setup the bluetooth headset in intone
• add that to .asoundrc:

  pcm.!default {
    type bluetooth
    device XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 
    profile "auto"
  }
  

Note that only intone and usual alsa program will use that path, not the telephony, ring etc...

Each Time

• boot the phone
• open emtooth2
• open intone, select the folder to play(do not take a too-big folder else it will OOM(out of memory(RAM))
• click on the settings button and renice mplayer
• return to the normal menu and press play

TODO

om-gta02

• Integrate bluetooth better
• Fix QI not reading NAND's /boot/append-GTA02
• handle the slowness of the CPU in mplayer or find a music player that works and that is capable of playing music fast enough
