Title:
Sony SRS-BTM8 play/pause key not fully effective in Rhythmbox or
Banshee
Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have a Sony SRS-BTM8 Bluetooth speaker, and its audio side works
fairly well with Ubuntu. It also has a play/pause button and that
doesn't work so well. I think the problem lies in unity-settings-
daemon.
To demonstrate that the Bluetooth side is working, if I switch to a
text console and run "evtest /dev/input/event9", then when pressing
the button I get events for KEY_PLAYCD if the speaker is not playing
anything, and alternating KEY_PAUSECD and KEY_PLAYCD if it is playing
something.
However, within the Unity desktop I find that if I'm running Banshee
or Rhythmbox then pressing the button successfully pauses the music,
but doesn't start it playing again. If I run "xev" and give it the
keyboard focus while testing this (so xev sees all ungrabbed
keystrokes) then it sees only a KeyRelease event for XF86AudioPause,
but both KeyPress and KeyRelease events for XF86AudioPlay. I've
attached the full output from xev.
