[Bug 1189739] [NEW] bluez-alsa devices are invisible to the alsa api and /proc/asound

Public bug reported:

Bluetooth devices do not show up in the sound device lists presented by
ALSA applications, even when bluez-alsa is installed and working. This
means that, unless a program happens to allow manually-specified ALSA
device name strings and the user knows what magic string to enter and
how to do so, bluez-alsa is effectively useless.

I have verified that this is not simply an application bug by writing my
own libasound test application: All the other sound devices in my system
are enumerated by ALSA API calls, but my bluetooth headset is notably
absent. There is no entry for it in /proc/asound either, so it seems
there is simply no way to discover a bluez-alsa device. What a shame.
