Description:
Bluetooth headsets don't work on Archlinux.
In order to get them work arch needs sco and snd-bt-sco modules.
Ok i know snd-bt-sco is deprecated, removed and bla, bla, bla... but it works without any complications.
Infact other distros(like for example Ubuntu 8.10) have it and bluetooth headsets work like a charm.
If you search "bluetooth headsets" on archlinux forum no one and, i repeat, no one has resolved this problem.

This bug borns after a discussion on archlinux forum -> http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=497623

Additional info:
Package i tested -> bluez 4.30-1
Bluez official site reports this guide for bluetooth headsets -> http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices

Please don't answer with the classical quote "You don't need snd-bt-sco", but give solutions. Thanks.
This task depends upon

It appears "headsetd" may be used instead of snd-bt-sco. Maybe. I don't have the time to try building myself to test, but at least it's something?
