the unit happily displays epubs if i use koreader after all - not audio decoding, i know.

Any idea if mplayer would function on the pw4 as with older pw's?
Don't know, but as I have used it on my K3 I might be able to check it out. Using kterm when I have a bluetooth device detected shows the following possibly related processes running:

Code:
root      2319     1  0 12:14 ?        00:00:00 audiomgrd
root      2331     1  0 12:14 ?        00:00:00 btd -f
root      2342     1  0 12:14 ?        00:00:00 bsa_server -d /dev/ttymxc2 -u /var/local/zbluetooth/ -p /opt/brcm_4343w/bluetooth/firmware/BCM4343A1_001.002.009.0083.0380.hcd -lpm
root      2359     2  0 12:14 ?        00:00:00 [kworker/u2:0]
I am making this guess due to the start time and presence of "audio" or "blue" in the text of the process. The question is if mplayer can work with whichever of these handles audio.

PS: copied the mplayer binary onto the PW4 and it will run from kterm, so need to try the various options and see what happens.
