I have a question or maybe a feature request:

using squeeze server for raspberry, is it at all possible to pair and use more than one Bluetooth device at the same time? In the sense: is it possible to stream TO the squeezebox server (say from the mobile) and from it (to some loudspeakers)?
Or to pair more than one pair of loudspeakers at once? I do this last thing under windows all the time just by creating a virtual sound card with virtual audio cable and by replicating the output signal across different Bluetooth devices.

Thanks!

Dear All,

I have a problem that might as well be related to my USB BT dongle. I am using a PI2, under Max2Play version 2.37, and I have just bought the premium license (thanks for this amazing project, by the way!).
I have installed the Bluetooth plugin and the procedure seemed to end correctly, only any scan for devices turns out empty. This is the debug window:

A (little) bit of investigation from the console led me to:

 service bluetooth status

   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled)

and to

hcitool scan
Scanning ...
        11:75:58:23:81:06       AS200

and I can get the device information too.
Only, if I try to connect:

sudo hcitool cc  11:75:58:23:81:06
Can't create connection: Input/output error

Going into bluetoothctl, I have:

[bluetooth]# list
[bluetooth]# devices
[bluetooth]#

Any idea? Thanks!
