In general, we don't, unfortunately.

If it's loosely enough coupled, we probably can. In the case of 
PulseAudio and bluez, they will be in different snaps, but they can 
still talk to each other over D-Bus in order to enable bluetooth audio 
headsets.

That's the plan, at least.

Ok.

If nothing urgent pops up I'll try to actually get something done next 
week. I'll keep ubuntu-audio-dev in the loop. Sounds like a plan?
