>The empeg's BT module also hears this (promisc?) and auto-mutes the player. When the conversation ends, the empeg starts playing again.

Bluetooth ist mostly a one-to-one-connection. If you could use the empeg to be master and create a scatternet, maybe it would work. Phones won't be designed to do such things :-).

>Maybe with a bit of coding, write something for a phone with both BT and Java.
If the step above works, even this should be possible.
Wow, what an idea, using the empeg as an answeringmachine :-). You guys are crazy, I love it!

But be aware that there should someone who is able to program this and even does it... When I shall program the whole thing by myself, you'll surely be old and grey and your empeg has learned to fly in the meantime ;-).


BTW: I got an reply from TDK. I asked if a one-chip-solution is possible to detect an bluetooth-device (e.g. your mobile) and put an output to hi / lo. No, without an PIC or other device with a little brain it won't work. Ok, I expected it not to work without anything else but asking is tax-free :-).
