#877: Bluetooth headset does not appear in the sound devices list

Milestone:                      |   Component:  daemon 
 Keywords:  bluetooth, headset  |  
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 Pairing the headset and the computer is successful. The connection
 initially is also established (after a fresh reboot). But the headset does
 not appear in Pulseaudio devices list (as checked via pavucontrol, kmix,
 KDE's Phonon devices list).

 Once the bluetooth headset is connected, pulseaudio sometimes freezes (if
 I played sound on Kaffeine, it sometimes stops).

 The headset is ok, works with my phone, I also managed to get it to work
 once with pulseaudio, but do not ask me how, it was accidental and I was
 not able to replicate that (and it was with packages from ppa:ubuntu-
 audio-dev/ppa for maverick ubuntu; since those froze more often, I
 downgraded, and these tests are done with default ubuntu maverick
 packages).

 I am attaching two files. One is filtered output of /var/log/messages of a
 bluetooth connection session.
 The ohter one is pulseaudio -vvvv output of the same session.

 I will gladly do any tests required for this bug to be fixed.
