There is still a lot of work to do on this program in any case.. it can 
currently play an audio file to an A2DP receiver (I have a pair of 
headphones, and a standalone speaker). It does this by piping stdin (or 
reading from a .WAV file) into an RFCOMM connection so that should 
basically work on FreeBSD anyway

There is no real support for audio devices at this time, but I have 
encouraged Nathaniel to implement a method where it could use the backend 
of a pad(4) device so that the system would see an audio device and you 
could use your normal audio player. I think this will need extensions to 
pad(4) in any case as that is too simple.
