[Bug 327284] Re: [Jaunty Alpha4] Bluetooth Headset pairs but freezes the system when used

[komputes]

I've just tested the Jaunty official release (fully updated) and I got
part of it working.

I was able to pair the Plantronics Bluetooth Headset effortlessly, but
once paired, I do not see where I can look at my paired devices and
their settings. gnome-volume-control does not show the device,
pavucontrol does not show the device, skype shows the device as
"headset" which only offers sound output but no capture functionality.
If I set Skype to use 'headset' as the capture device it will  complain
"Problem with audio capture"

Also I was told that even though this is one device, two classes can be
activated in this device (from the computer) making it work differently
(headphones vs headset). I do not see where I can set this option.


I also gave Baptiste Mille-Mathias' PPA a try. I added the PPA, ran updates and pulled in the following packages:
 bluetooth bluez bluez-alsa bluez-cups bluez-gstreamer bluez-utils libbluetooth3

After rebooting I find that pavucontrol and gnome-volume-control still do not allow me to modify the device settings.
Skype still fails when I set  'headset' as the capture device. I also tried audacity which does not show me a different device for headset capture. I am able to playback but not capture.


So these problems bring up some questions:
1) How do I edit the device settings (options, volume levels etc)?
2) How do I set the device to be my session-wide or even system-wide default audio input/output device?
3) How can I get the capture to work on this device?
