This bug is being reproduced in Xubuntu too and we are currently in
2015.

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release:	14.04
Codename:	trusty
Arch: x86_64

Today I've received an update for bluez and pulseaudio but it seems to
keep failing. I'm using a Plantronic ML18 headset recognized as
PLT_ML20. When I pair the device and make the audio sink the device is
not listed in pulseaudio device list.

I think is a bug from Blueman.
Could you check this issue? Is very frustrating to swap to another SO just for use several communications tools.

Thank you

Title:
  Bluetooth audio fails on 64-bit architecture

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  * Headset works fine on 32-bit machines under Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10
       (Samsung NC-20, Dell D420)

  * Same headset pairs, but fails to do audio on a 64-bit machine, Ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit 12.10 or 64-bit 13.04
      (Lenovo S206 with AMD E1-1200)

  AGAIN: it fails on 64-bit *machines* regardless of the Ubuntu version,
  and works on 32-bit machines.

  * At first sometimes I see the hardware in the Sound Settings.
    but only hear some tinny, scratchy sounds briefly.
    Then the device disappears from the Sound Settings.  Re-starting bluetooth has no effect.

  On a working system, see syslog lines like
      bluetoothd[825]: /org/bluez/825/hci0/dev_<bluetooth-id>: fd(32) ready
      ...
      bluetoothd[825]: Audio connection got disconnected

  But on the non-working systems, I don't see such bluetooth lines at all (I presume due to the logging level)
  Anyway, no *errors* are showing, after pairing with the headset.  The audio just doesn't work.

  Please advise how to debug.

  (Of course I don't know if the blame lies with the Bluetooth software
  or with PulseAudio, and of course I don't care.)

  Please fix this soon!  I have been using this on a daily basis, and
  need to move to a newer machine.
