Can confirm that this is currently occurring with pulseaudio 1:4.0 and
the default Blueman package under Xubuntu 14.04.2 and Xfce 4.12.

Even though "load-module module-bluetooth-discover" is present by
default in /etc/pulse/default.pa, it is not loaded at all on startup. It
always must be manually loaded via entering "pactl load-module module-
bluetooth-discover" in a terminal prompt, or running a script which does
that on startup (after a roughly 8 second sleep period). Without the
module loading at startup by default, it makes using devices like
Bluetooth speakers a real hassle, and I strongly doubt the average user
would be able to figure out an easy resolution to this issue.

P.S. Installing the newer Blueman package as mentioned in comment 20,
does resolve the issue though, and I no longer need to have the
aforementioned script run at startup.

Title:
  module-bluetooth-discover does not load on login

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The following lines appear in /etc/pulse/default.pa, which I have not
  modified:

  .ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so
  load-module module-bluetooth-discover
  .endif

  Expected: module-bluetooth-discover is loaded on login, as configured.

  Observed: pulseaudio's module-bluetooth-discover does not load on
  login. My system does not detect and set up sinks when I connect to
  Bluetooth devices (including an A2DP speaker and a headset).

  If I issue, in a terminal window:

  $ pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover 
  24

  …then the devices are detected and sinks set up correctly.

  $ lsb_release -rd && apt-cache policy pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
