Thanks to Aaron! This works. A little more info if you like...
When dialing "**", if the 2 asterisks are dialed quickly it produces the "p" or "pause" dialing character. Dialing 3 asterisks produces a "w" or "wait" dialing character. When calling just these special characters, the call does not get processed to the network, but a channel gets opened to the bluetooth device. If you dial the asterisks slowly, you can actually place a call to ** and this will not work.
If I get a phone call while listening through my bluetooth device, redialing "p" (**)
may reestablish the channel. Sometimes I need to dial 3 asterisks for the "w" for "wait" character. Sometimes it takes a couple of special "p" and/or "w" characters to reopen the channel. Sometimes I have to turn off my bluetooth service and turn it back on and then try a few different dialing sequences. It always works, just sometimes if reestablishing the channel after being interrupted it may take a few tries.
I've used this technique to listen to the music player, pandora streaming audio, and anything else that produces sound! Thanks Aaron.
