Hi,

here is the use case :
user use amarok with xine engine + alsa output plugin and has a bluetooth stereo headset + a stereo \
amplifier

to use the stereo bluetooth headset, user got to click settings -> amarok settings -> engine , then \
change value of stereo field from "default" to "a2dpd" to go back to  stereo amplifier, user got to \
re-click settings -> amarok settings -> engine , then change value of stereo field from "a2dpd"  to \
"default" this is a "usability" problem for users performing this switch quite often.

ideally, there could be a better a2dpd integration in amarok/kde, there could also be new options \
allowing the switch from a new "toggle" button in the GUI, but this is a huge task that would only \
benefit to few users.

a first step to ease a2dpd user's life could be to implement a dcop call allowing to set the value of the \
alsa device configuration field.

Thanks.
