[Bug 1438510] Re: [REGRESSION] bluetooth headset no longer supports a2dp

[Linux Lurker]

@karlgrz

I saw the issues you were having and had recently just figured out the
same work-around. Just as I was going to post it for you, I see that you
too have narrowed it down to this repeatable behavior.

For me however, I do not switch back to HSP, rather I turn the profile OFF in pavucontrol "configuration" tab. Then I disconnect the bluetooth using the its graphic interface.
The next time I connect the bluetooth device, it connects just fine. Then I simply go to the config tab in pavucontrol to switch the device to A2DP sink.  It works every time this way.

In the past, switching the profile to OFF in pavucontrol prior to disconnecting the bluetooth device was unnecessary.
I am currently running Kubuntu 16.04 LTS, but have had 16.04 installed since beta. This regression was not present for me in any previous versions.
