Oops.  Some how this message escaped before I was anywhere near finished

I have a Plantronics Backbeat 903 headset.
A cheap generic usb dongle.  (Could be the problem, but I'd like to be sure
before
buying a more expensive one).

There are lots of bluetooth packages I'm not at all certain I have the right
packages
installed.

here's the output from:  dpkg -l | grep blu

Blueman often reports the device has been added but the connection failed.
Went to check the exact wording, and it succeeded for the first time.
But I don't see anything to hook up the audio in sound preferences.
