Hi all,

blueman maintainer here. I understand this is not 100 % a blueman
problem, but blueman is definitely having its part.

As you found out, there is a blueman applet plugin that unloads
pulseaudio's bluetooth-discover module and handles devices manually. The
original author let me know that this is due to pulseaudio (the
discovery module especially) not working well back then. For more
details see https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/issues/64

I've prepared a blueman version without that pulseaudio applet plugin,
but still including the manager plugin. That one is responsible for
selecting the A2DP profile. Although there are other ways to do this
(e.g. PulseAudio Volume Control as mentioned above), it seems like this
is a useful feature to some users.

You can test the changes using the following PPA:

The code can be found in the nopahandling branch:

Cheers

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I found a bug in Ubuntu 14.04 !

  I tried to pair a bluetooth stereo headset (A2DP compatible). The
  pairing process goes well, but after that I can't select it on the
  audio preferences.

  When I select it, it only shows the last selected item options and don't do anything. (he should switch to the headset output).
  I must mention that it worked very well on Ubuntu 12.04.

  This bug can be in the bluetooth stack or in unity-control-center or
  maybe pulseaudio. I actually have no idea.
