Day 9 of the SCO v. Novell Trial, March 18, 2010, Part 2 - The Jury Gets to Learn About Earlier SCO
Let's continue with the second part of the events of Day 9 at the second SCO v. Novell trial, before the Hon. Ted Stewart, a continuation of this article, part 1, where you'll find the complete transcript as text. We ran out of space, so you may want to open up the previous article alongside this one, so you can follow along with the transcript.
So we're still talking about the events on March 18, 2010. When we left off, Dr. Christine Botosan was on the stand, enduring cross examination by Novell's lawyer, Sterling Brennan. I do mean enduring, because she was very much on the defensive, and as you will see, it gets worse for her.
We'll pick up the narrative right after the court has taken a break. When the judge returns, but before the jury is brought back, he brings up again his decision to let Novell mention the previous Judge Dale Kimball rulings against SCO in this case. SCO in its appeal is claiming it was error to let the jury hear about all that, so let's focus on that part especially.

NAME

     btsco -- Bluetooth SCO Audio

SYNOPSIS

     btsco*    at bthub?
     audio*    at audiobus?

DESCRIPTION

     The btsco driver provides support for Bluetooth SCO Audio devices through the audio(4) driver.

     The btsco driver must be configured at run time with the btdevctl(8) program.  The following properties are used by the btsco driver during
     autoconfiguration:

     local-bdaddr
	       Local device address.

     remote-bdaddr
	       Remote device address.

     service-name
	       The btsco driver matches the 'HF' and 'HSET' services.  For the 'HF' service, the btsco device will, on open(2), listen for incom-
	       ing connections from the remote device.	Otherwise, btsco will attempt to initiate a connection to the remote device.

     rfcomm-channel
	       This integer value is not used directly, but will be stored and passed via the BTSCO_INFO ioctl as below:

     SCO connections require a baseband connection between the two devices before they can be created.	The btsco driver does not create this, but
     can provide information to facilitate an application setting up a control channel prior to use, via the BTSCO_INFO ioctl(2) call on the mixer
     device, which returns a btsco_info structure as follows:

     #include <dev/bluetooth/btsco.h>

     struct btsco_info {
	     bdaddr_t	     laddr;	     /* controller bdaddr */
	     bdaddr_t	     raddr;	     /* headset bdaddr */
	     uint8_t	     channel;	     /* RFCOMM channel */
	     int	     vgs;	     /* mixer index speaker */
	     int	     vgm;	     /* mixer index mic */
     };

     #define BTSCO_INFO      _IOR('b', 16, struct btsco_info)

     The btsco driver can be configured to act in Connect or Listen mode.  In Connect mode, the btsco driver will initiate a connection to the
     remote device on an open(2) call, whereas in Listen mode, open(2) will block until the remote device initiates the connection.

HISTORY

     The btsco driver was written for NetBSD 4.0 by Iain Hibbert under the sponsorship of Itronix, Inc.

BUGS

     btsco takes no notice of the HCI Voice Setting in the Bluetooth controller, and this must be 0x0060 (the default) as alternate values are
     currently unsupported.
