Any idea if Gotham and an Xbian release that would incorporate Gotham would likely fix this bluetooth issue?

it is not about ignoring the problem, but about other problems or new functionalities being preferred.

there is 1/2 old RaspBMC manually patched to work with alsa, it's version 12.1. But no way to upgrade and 12.1 has some real issues.

Sam wanted to move the port to 12.2 (or Gotham) as well, but after some time took it down from to-do list, for now. current 12.2 frodo has so much changes due to backports from Gotham, that it was almost impossible to keep the old code running.

no personal tip about Gotham or any general timeline for this. almost for sure not for Gotham start, .., as later update - no idea.

btw: raspbian + xbmc install will not solve it as it is XBMC issue - no support. doesn;t matter wheter xbmc got installed by you or with elegant distro.
