After several hours of googling and trying various suggested fixes, I
have my bluetooth speakers working and have some hints. Hopefully
package maintainers et al can coax them into a more usable form
First and foremost I found the following two URLs of enormous help:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725846
http://askubuntu.com/questions/366032/pulseaudio-not-detecting-
bluetooth-headset-automatically
The real issue was that module-bluetooth-discover was not loading (and
still does not automatically)
Test by:
pactl list | grep -i module-bluetooth-discover
If empty load via
pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
Pulse audio will then (hopefully) recognize the device
The rest is sketchier since I needed to do this the first time, but not
there after
First, pulse audio sees the device in the playback menu, normally where
you see something like "Built-in Audio Duplex ..."
But the first time I tried the instructions in the URL above for
associating the device with a2dp, they did not work. Instead, I went
in through the bluetooth widget, selected the device, selected audio
profile and then a2dp.
Then you could select the speakers from the pulse audio control panel
Have no idea how to get the pactl load-module to happen automatically,
except (of course) I will write a script :)
I hope this helps a few ...
