[Bug 1720684] [NEW] Bluetooth speaker used the HSP/HFP profile by default rather than the higher-quality A2DP profile

Kubuntu 17.04
Bluetooth device: https://smile.amazon.com/VicTsing-Wireless-Waterproof-Hands-Free-Speakerphone/dp/B074DX13T1 (itentifies itself as "C6")

The above Bluetooth speaker paired and started streaming audio perfectly
in Kubuntu 17.04. But the audio quality was poor, because the default
audio profile was the low-quality HSP/HFP one. When I switched it to the
A2DP profile, it sounded perfect again.

Can we make A2DP the default playback profile for Bluetooth audio
devices?
