I have those, but I can't remember if it was built in the alsa stuff or the 
bluez stuff. The dates are newer on the libasound_module* files, and I 
upgraded bluez stuff last. Mine was built from source, both alsa and all bluez 
stuff. If you have a full install of both those, you should have the files. 
Possibly you don't have a full (alsa) install or one is not available from 
Slackware that supports bluetooth?

What happens if you build + install alsa from source, *then* build install 
bluez? Sometimes what is built depends on support you already have in-system.

Same problem here, with a Jabra; but I'm not sure what I'm trying is even 
possible. hcitool cc <addr> connects for about a 1/2 second. Anything else 
says 'Not connected'. I know the pin to be '0000', but the device doesn't show 
up on a scan. The only way I got the address was from when it paired with a 
phone.
