Have just found these descriptions on the bluez wiki -
   org.bluez.AudioSink.Connect - connects via A2DP (stereo audio)
   org.bluez.Headset.Connect - connects via HSP/HFP (mono headset with mic)
   org.bluez.Audio.Connect - connects to both (select which to use via 
the pulse card profile)

If I connect from the Audio node, I can disconnect the Headset node.
If I connect from the Audio node, I can not disconnect the AudioSink 
node "org.bluez.Error.NotConnected: Device not Connected"
I can not directly connect from the AudioSink node 
"org.bluez.Error.Failed: Stream setup failed"

So it looks like pulse is accurately reflecting the underlying behavior, 
perhaps I should take this to the bluetooth list?

Thanks,
Jon
