Hi,
Is it possible to have an bluetooth A2DP (audio stream) sink to be routed to FMOD as an input stream? As you can have line in as input stream?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

For Linux we have two available sound card interfaces, ALSA and PulseAudio. Assuming PulseAudio a quick Google reveals you probably need to install the PulseAudio Bluetooth module. Once that’s running FMOD should discover it along with all the other PulseAudio devices.

I do not want to use Bluetooth with Android but with the raspberry pi. So I have access to most tools, every linux system has. I want to use FMOD as my primary audio library but the ability to get the bluetooth stream is a must have for me.

Apologies, I saw Bluetooth and assumed Android. I’ll correct my above answer.
