Dunno - I'll test whether using the MS BT stack comin with W7 supports
headset mode (to work as a headset, that is).

Yup, I have it too (I think) - it's very old (year 2004? 2005? way before
the a2dp revolution); no wonder it doesn't support a2dp.

1. As opposed to XP?
2. You don't need to uninstall your current XP to give W7 a go. If you are
afraid of re-partitioning your HDD (if you don't have a "clean" partition
you could install it to), you can still install it in a VirtualBox or
VMWare box. (Actually, this is how I use Win7 from Hackintosh on my t42p
when booted into OS-X to do some iPhone hacking / development.) With that,
you can see whether it sees your network.
3. now, the final version of W7 is available - the one you've tried may
have been an earlier build / version. The final version is stated to be
even better than even RC1 (at least when it comes to at least the h.264
decoder, some say - I'm not sure they're right, though.) If this problem
was caused by a bug, then, the final W7 may help you - and it has a lot of
other goodies (much better input recognition and, of course, A2DP).

Yup - the standard XP MS BT driver only supports headset mode, not a2dp.
