I got some too and I had similar problems. Current implementations of BT
for Linux simply don't try hard enough to find and pair devices and keep
them paired. And they don't pass that data to the sound system, so even
if you manage to pair the device, your sund system never gets to know
about it, so it keeps maintaining there is no device connected.

Is there some way to get the BT devs to talk to the sound system devs?
