    I am still using Linpus (for the time being), so Fedora Core 8.
    I have a bluetooth dongle.
    I want to use it to stream audio to a remote speaker (using my Sony bluetooth receiver).
    I want to watch things like iplayer and listen to the sound via bluetooth so it's louder than the internal speaker.
    I have got bluetooth working with a mobile phone and a bluetooth mouse so it's the audio aspects I need help with.
    I have installed pulseaudio from the repo.
    I have also installed pavucontrol which is meant to control the volume.

    Unfortunately, my volume keys no longer work.
    I probably need to set up pulseaudio with some sinks and sources but I don't really know how.
    I try
    /etc/init.d/bluetooth -start
    /usr/bin/bluetooth-applet
    /usr/bin/pulseaudio -D
    /usr/bin/pavucontrol

    I've managed to pair or bond with the Sony Bluetooth Receiver using
    dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0 org.bluez.Adapter.CreateBonding string:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

    I've seen other pulseaudio packages listed in the repo which I haven't installed.
    padevchooser, paprefs, paman, pavumeter

    I've also seen mention of alsa, ESD, a2dp and bluesoleil on the web.

    How can I redirect the audio to the bluetooth dongle?
    Can I get my volume keys working again (even if it is only when I'm not streaming audio to the dongle?
