Bluetooth setup description deprecated

[pillar-man]

Hi,

while fiddling around with this project for a while and trying to get it working i've tried several ways to connect my phone to the pi zero w via bluetooth.

Following the steps on the project setup page wont work for me, i've tried with several raspbian images (lite as well as desktop, the latest buster as well as images from 2017/2018 when this project war created).
For example, Enable=Source,Sink,Media is not a valid argument for the /etc/bluetooth/main.conf file. As stated in several other bluetooth setup guides, it might be used in /etc/bluetooth/input.conf.

However, when establishing the bluetooth connection as stated by @afaden , it will connect but the pi won't be noticed as bluetooth sink, so i tried several other ways like installing pulseaudio (only to learn later that bluealsa and pulseaudio wont work well together) or following the steps on: https://www.sigmdel.ca/michel/ha/rpi/bluetooth_n_buster_01_en.html

After that the pi is at least noticed as audio sink, but the phone will not be displayed in the BabelPod web ui as audio source.

So, did anyone manage to get BabelPod with bluetooth on a pi zero w running? If so, i am highly interested in the exact steps and prerequisites (image, packages) for this!
