Hello,
try to
aplay -v -D bluetooth './your-sound.wav'
and send its output. Else, did you started bluetooth audio service?
To check, use:
ps ax | grep bluetoothd-service-audio

BTW I started off using KDE and the bluetooth applet to pair the device. It is 
now listed in the "Paired/Trusted Devices" screen. It it also listed in 
the "Configured Input Devices" section of "Input Devices".

I'm a little suspicious of the KDE applets, does anyone know what tools to use 
on the commandline to make sure that the connection/pairing is good? It shows 
up with hcitool scan:


citrine:~ # hcitool scan
Scanning ...
        00:0D:3C:6F:0E:89       Jawbone
#

Output of trying to play:

:~> aplay -v -D bluetooth /work/tmp/Audio-tmp/11\ -\ How\ Can\ I\ Keep\ From\ 
Singing-.wav
ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.c:1189:(bluetooth_init) Connection fail
aplay: main:546: audio open error: Connection refused

I don't see anything useful in /var/log/messages

I tried deleting the pairing, re-pairing and immediately doing the "aplay" 
test and still I get the same error.

As far as the bluetooth audio service, I'm not sure. As I mentioend, I'm on 
SuSE 10.3. It only has /etc/init.d/bluetooth which I think is supposed to 
handle all types of bluetooth connections - like a wrapper or something.

ps ax |grep blue
27467 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/hcid -s -f /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
27472 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd-service-input


# cat /etc/bluetooth/audio.service
[Bluetooth Service]
Identifier=audio
Name=Audio service
Description=Bluetooth Audio service

My bluetooth adapter is the good old USB D-Link DBT 120 that works on 
everything (Mac, Linux etc).

hcitool con shows:

# hcitool con
Connections:


hcitool rssi 00:0D:3C:6F:0E:89
Not connected.


I'm not sure what that means. I wonder if it means it's not really connected?
