Playerd: Bluetooth Pairing on Linux

completed by: Darriel

mentors: AJ Williams, Arc Riley, David Czech

Many gamers use bluetooth headsets and game controllers, including Wiimotes and Sony Dualshock controllers.

Implement a bluez frontend in Playerd for pairing bluetooth devices. The dbus interface provided by bluez makes this mostly straightforward, most of the work will be in designing the pairing api. No graphical component is needed.

This task is complete when a bluetooth headset or game controller can be programmatically searched for, paired, and unpaired programmatically.
