Then you should report that bug against pulseaudio.

Well, that is if it is a Gstreamer issue. Do you notice this issue with Totem or
Rhythmbox? What about earlier versions of Banshee?

Bug Description
===========
When trying to play mp3 soundtracks in banshee music player with a bluetooth headset as the audio playback device, the soundtrack progress bar does not progress from left to right but remains stationary at the leftmost end. Dragging the progress bar left/right also doesn't work. However, the number of minutes and seconds the current soundtrack has been playing for is correctly shown beside it in plain text.

The command I use to select my bluetooth device as the audio device is

user at host:~$gconftool -t string -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/musicaudiosink "sbcenc ! a2dpsink device=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
