Comment:

 I am seeing this same problem and appear to have later versions than those
 reported to work above.

 I start pavucontrol. My headset is shown, and works, but:
 1. Its mono only
 2. The record volume is way too loud.
 I figured this *may* be fixed by changing the configured profile from  the
 profile from HSP/HSF to a2dp. When I try doing this in
 pavucontrol/configuration screen I get a popup "Connection Failed:
 Connection Terminated".
 Trying this again, but with log-level=debug provides these final lines in
 debug:

 I'm running Mandriva Linux 2010. That came with pulseaudio 0.9.19. After
 having this problem, I upgraded to 0.9.21 - that did not help.
 I'm using module-bluetooth-discover
