The SCO sockets are not required, since A2DP uses RFCOMM to transport data
that I recall

I'm not sure how audio management works in FreeBSD, wether just feeding
the data to /dev/audio is enough or really if you need to make it
available some other way. I have thought of doing something on NetBSD
using the pad(4) driver[*] which would enable a daemon to provide a system
standard audio interface (eg on /dev/audio2) that you can use with your
favourite music player but have been distracted by other things.

I have a pair of A2DP headphones that I can use to listen to music from my
phone and it is kind of nice but I guess that there needs to be remote
control interfaces with different music players too, perhaps they have
them already..?
