Again, the errors and solutions stated below are obtained from the the user comments at David Connolly's blog. This post is to summarize the most common problems mentioned and how to solve them. (and save you from going through 200 comments)
Common errors
1) kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/AudioReflectorDriver.kext is not authentic (check ownership and permissions)
Type the following command in Terminal (each sentence is in one line):
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AudioReflectorDriver.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AudioReflectorDriver.kext
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AudioReflectorDriver.kext
2) If you have problems with the choppiness of the sound and adjusting the value in /usr/local/bin/a2dpcast aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff 20 did not help, you can try to unload kext and reload it.
However, according to Tim, a2dpcast-0.3 shouldn't give you this problem. So you should not try this solution unless you have tried all other options.
Type in the following:
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AudioReflectorDriver.kext (you may need to do this twice)
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AudioReflectorDriver.kext
3) a2dpcast does not work with Motorola S9! If you have S9, you best bet would be to use Softick Audio Gateway for Mac OS which is mentioned here.
You will see the following message in Terminal when you run /usr/local/bin/a2dpcast aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff with Motorola S9.

Bus error
Notice the bus error. If for any reason when you use your bluetooth stereo headset (other than Motorola S9) with a2dpcast and Terminal gives Bus error, it probably means your headset cannot use method (2).
