well, yes. but you cant get any audio. this is because ng_ubt(4) does 
not support usb isoc. transfers (assuming that you are using bluetooth 
usb dongle). i have modified ng_ubt(4) and added support for isoc. 
transfers, but i have not committed it yet. there is also a bluetooth 
sco sockets layer to simplify programming api.
