[Bug 1065380] [NEW] Audio doesn't switch to bluetooth headset automatically

[quequotion]

Public bug reported:

This should be happening hands-free, but I still have to configure it
manually.

This is the behavior I expect:

0. During any audio stream (music, movie, game, whatever)

1. Activate bluetooth headset.
2. Audio redirects to the headset.
3. Deactivate bluetooth headset.
4. Audio redirects to the speakers.
5. Rinse and repeat.

What is actually happening:

1. On activation, headset connects, but no profile is selected, so nothing appears to happen.
2. Manually select "Audio Sink" in blueman (cannot be done in gnome-bluetooth-applet)
3. Audio redirects to the headset.
4. Deactivate the headset.
5. Audio redirects to the speakers.
6. If bluetooth is still working, it is possible to repeat this procedure.
