I'm not sure this is just bluez and not a little of pulseaudio, but i'm
still not an expert.

I pulled the source for bluez and recompiled without the  enable_audio_sources.patch file using quilt:
apt-get source bluez
quilt pop -a
quilt delete enable_audio_sources.patch
quilt push -a
debuild -us -uc
dpkg -i *.deb

This gets me audio. I've commented out everything in
/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf to leave it all to defaults. Here's what I
currently have to do to get working audio (after installing the patch-
modified version as above):

1. Computer start
2. Attempt connection to paired A2DP device. Fails ("bluetoothd: Unable to select SEP" in syslog)
3. pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover (endpoints registered in syslog)
4. Attempt connection to paired A2DP device. Success! Pulseaudio device created and available.
5. Open Pulseaudio volume control (to assign default audio output device). Pulseaudio crash!:

6. Attempt connection to paired A2DP device. Fails ("bluetoothd: Unable to select SEP" in syslog)
7. pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover (endpoints registered in syslog)
8. Attempt connection to paired A2DP device. Success! Pulseaudio device created and available.
9. Open Pulseaudio volume control (to assign default audio output device). Can finally open and assign output device.

Pulseaudio does seem to crash, as I receive a crash report notification
after step 5, and the Volume Control loses connection to the PA server.

All the while, blueman experiences connection issues to the server,
particularly after "Unable to select SEP", though that may be poor error
handling on blueman's side.

This is on 13.04. I could upgrade to 13.10, but not sure if that will do
anything for this.
