[Bug 1637753] [NEW] Bad interaction between pulseaudio and bluetooth

[Paul Abrahams]

Public bug reported:

I'm running Kubuntu 14.04. I am trying to use my headphones to listen to
music from my laptop.  The headphones are correctly paired, and I get a
message to that effect, but I can't switch the audio output to bluetooth
-- it just isn't listed in the Phonon settings of System Settings, nor
does it show up in pavucontrol.  There have been many reports of
difficulty in using bluetooth with pulseaudio in addition to this,
particularly for Kubuntu 14.04.
