Hey folks, happy new year!
After upgrading to BlueZ 5 recently, everything seemed to be working 
great, but then it was pointed out that Bluetooth audio was no longer 
working. The reason was that the newer BlueZ branch had dropped ALSA 
support and now required PulseAudio. So with some trepidation, we began 
investigating adding PulseAudio to Slackware. Going back to BlueZ 4 
wasn't an option with various dependent projects either having dropped 
support for it, or considering doing so. After several iterations here 
refining the foundation packages and recompiling and tweaking other 
packages to use PulseAudio, it's working well and you'll likely not 
notice much of a change. But if you're using Bluetooth audio, or needing 
to direct audio through HDMI, you'll probably find it a lot easier to 
accomplish that.
Best of all, we're finally a modern, relevant Linux distro! ;-)

regards Henrik
