Ahhh.  Yes, couldn't see the trees from the forest.

For ease, and just to prove that the time spent on option #1 would be
fruitful, I chose this one....

TBH, I don't really know which of these I want.  What I have is a
monaural bluetooth headset typically used with a cell-phone.

For experimentation (at least), that sounds fine.

Done:

#.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so
#load-module module-bluetooth-discover
#.endif

Done:

load-module module-bluetooth-device address=00:1A:45:1B:19:89
profile=a2dp

I restarted PA after doing this and got the same results:

I'm assuming the "Profile 'a2dp' not valid or not supported by device."
at the top is the problem.  What can I do with/about that?

Thanx greatly for the help so far!
