Plantronics Voyager™ 510 Bluetooth® Headset on Linux

I own a Plantronics Voyager™ 510 Bluetooth® Headset and I have been wanting to get it working on Linux for a quite sometime. I finally had some free time which utilizeded to get my headset working on Linux. The Bluetooth-alsa project provides support for Bluetooth headsets in Linux.

Requirements:
Installation:

Check out the btsco from CVS using the following commands
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bluetooth-alsa login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bluetooth-alsa co btsco
Compile the userland application
./bootstrap
./configure
make install
make maintainer-clean
Compile the kernel module
cd kernel
make
make install
depmod -e
make clean
Now lets configure our headset so that we can test if our headset works.
Now for testing run "xmms" and go to the preferences (Ctrl-P), click configure, and choose the BT device. Now load a song and play it to your headset.
