Hi! I've finally got the time to finish the Bluetooth Source! now Linamp can be used as a Bluetooth audio receiver.
It automatically detects when a smartphone or other device connects and shows the media metadata, playback state and the spectrum analyzer. It also allows you to control playback via the buttons on the Linamp interface.
If you have the latest Linamp OS from my Linamp DIY Digital Pack, you can upgrade by connecting via SSH and running the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade linamp
sudo reboot
Otherwise, you can get the latest binaries here: https://github.com/Rodmg/linamp/releases/tag/v1.3.0
Please note: If you are not using Linamp OS, you will need to install bluez and configure it to accept connections and work as a Bluetooth audio receiver.

Hello Rodrigo - I updated through ssh successfully and bluetooth plays from my phone. Thanks! You should note that you've changed the default ssh root password to 'linamp', took a bit to discover this. Apart from song info (metadata) from my sources not displaying on the screen, everything plays perfectly!
