[Bug 1438510] [NEW] [REGRESSION] bluetooth headset no longer supports a2dp

[Dustin Kirkland ]

Public bug reported:

Just installed 15.04 fresh from the latest ISO (beta2).

I'm bummed to see my bluetooth headset (Bose Soundlink overear) seems to
have regressed in functionality.

In 14.10, I was able to set the output profile either to a2dp or hsp/hfp
(telephony duplex).

In 15.04, it only works in telephony duplex mode.  I can't get high
fidelity sound playback to work at all.

This thread seems to be related, though the workaround within did not solve the problem for me:
