Understood. But if I take out one component (PulseAudio) and replace it
with another one (ALSA) and get the same results, then I think that this
is a quite strong indication, that this component wasn't involved, or
better: causing, in the error/problem at hand.

It doesn't matter, but I'm not using a builtin receiver, but a USB
connected dongle. And sadly I don't have another BT receiver available.

Well… For interesting values of "it just works" ;)

Yep.

Who's upstream now? Bluez? Sent a mail to linux-bluetooth mailing list
a few days ago, but haven't received any response so far.

I'm not a coder. Just a user :) Can't do much more than report bugs
or issues and supply details as I see them.
