[pulseaudio-discuss] 0.9.15 bluetooth profiles question

[Jon Escombe]

Hi,

I've just installed the F11 preview release,  and the bluetooth 
integration is a huge step forwards - thanks! As soon as I pair my 
headset it shows up as a device in pulseaudio, and I can move streams to 
it - so all great so far...

However. this headset supports both hsp and a2dp profiles. My problem is 
that it's defaulting to the hsp profile and I'm unable to change to 
a2dp, any ideas where to look for the root cause? The message log shows 
"pulseaudio[5550]: module-bluetooth-device.c: A2DP is not connected, 
refused to switch profile" when I try to switch.

kernel-PAE-2.6.29.1-111.fc11.i686
