            Bug ID: 98144
           Summary: bluetooth devices are not closed when the user is
                    switched away from the seat
           Product: PulseAudio
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: modules
          Assignee: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: fsateler at gmail.com

Pulseaudio currently closes ALSA devices when it loses access to them when the
user switches away from a seat or the session stops being active. Moreover, it
doesn't try to claim them when new devices appear.

Bluetooth devices are not similarly closed, which causes issues if there are
more than 1 active pulseaudio daemons running on a system (this is common in
GNOME desktops: GDM will keep a session with pulseaudio running).

Pulseaudio should probably implement such a collaborative closing for bluetooth
devices.


Other sink/sources are probably affected by the same issue.
