Binary package hint: pulseaudio

Hi, I have one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Jensen-WBT310-Universal-Bluetooth-
Receiver/dp/B000CMU1NM

It is just a garden variety A2DP device, looks like headphones, and
works fine with, e.g. SymbianOS and MacOS.

I could swear that it worked fine in Jaunty although my memory isn't so
clear on that.  Anyway, in Karmic, I can successfully pair with it but I
can't connect to it.  If I select "Connect" in the device's submenu from
the Bluetooth tray icon, it does nothing.  It doesn't show up in the
Audio Preferences device list, so PulseAudio doesn't know anything about
it.

I don't know where to report this bug, but it Just Does Not Work... and
it seems like other people are actually using A2DP semi-successfully.
