+# bluez-alsa
+
+## Introduction
+
+Bluetooth Audio ALSA Backend allow bluetooth audio without PulseAudio.
+
+This project is a rebirth of a direct integration between Bluez and ALSA. Since Bluez >= 5, the build-in integration has been removed in favor of 3rd party audio applications. From now on, Bluez acts as a middleware between an audio application, which implements Bluetooth audio profile, and a Bluetooth audio device.

+
+## Add bluez-alsa to an AGL image
+
+You can add bluez-alsa to your image
+
+```yocto
+IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "bluez-alsa"
+```
+
+## Check bluez-alsa status
+
+You can check the bluez-alsa status by running:
+
+```bash
+systemctl status bluez-alsa.service
+```
+
+## Stop pulseaudio
+
+You must disable pulseaudio if you want to use bluez-alsa
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user stop pulseaudio
+```
+
+or disable pulseaudio bluetooth support
+
+```bash
+vi /etc/pulse/default.pa
+#.ifexists module-bluetooth-policy.so
+#load-module module-bluetooth-policy
+#.endif
+
+#.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so
+#load-module module-bluetooth-discover
+#.endif
+```
+
+## Connect your Bluetooth device
+
+You need to connect a bluetooth device
+
+```bash
+$ bluetoothctl
+[bluetooth]# pair ${BT_ADDR}
+[bluetooth]# connect ${BT_ADDR}
+[bluetooth]# info ${BT_ADDR}
+```

+
+## Add bluez-alsa pcm config to alsa
+
+```bash
+vi /etc/asound.conf
+# Bluetooth headset
+pcm.btheadset {
+        type plug
+        slave.pcm {
+                type bluealsa
