There's a Linux driver for the 878 sound blob.
http://lxr.linux.no/source/drivers/sound/btaudio.c

The 878 datasheet is publically available too

Basically the device is divided into 2 logical parts. Function 0 is the vid=
eo=20
side, and function 1 is the audio.

I believe you should be able to attach to each part independently, although=

maybe it would make sense to make bktr all in one.
