To extend this thread - because of other apps I am using pulse and the
BT headset (Jabra Halo) generally works fine - my only problem is the
microphone when using sjphone which is an oss app. I can hear audio,
pulse indicates it can hear me speaking but sjphone is silent so it
seems to be the oss mic thats the problem - any hints/ideas on what to
do?

.asoundrc is an audio part of configuration. bebore that you have to:
* configure the kernel to support audio over bluetooth (these settings are for
3.x kernel, for earlier versions these are slightly deffer from showed):
CONFIG_BT=m
CONFIG_BT_L2CAP=y
CONFIG_BT_SCO=y
* install net-wireless/bluez
* configure and pair your headset with host bluetooth adapter using desktop
applet - net-wireless/blueman in my case, or manually - hcitool etc
* enjoy the result :)
