***UPDATE***: See the comments, turns out there is capability in F13 to do this that I was unaware of, thx marcanoonline.com!

Got a pair of MotoRokr S9-HD headphones today, pretty cool. Pairing with my iPhone was cake. Pairing with Fedora 13 had an extra couple steps. Getting the headphones paired was not the problem, huge props to Fedora 13 for making that super easy. The issue was getting the headphone to operate in an A2DP configuration.

There is not a place that I could find to select what kind of profile to use with with output device and the device was assigned a mono configuration upon initial pairing. I found one lone post related: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=223323

$ sudo yum install pavucontrol

pavucontrol shows the headphones configured for uses as a handsfree phone device (which it can do):

Fedora already had A2DP support installed, just had to select it:

Now I have stereo output on my shiny new headphones.
