I today happened to play with latest bluez sources and due to this API
change installed latest PA from git, because stock one doesn't work with
git's bluez

Everything is fine except that connecting two bluetooth headsets is
broken.

(it did work fine before with MaxConnected=2
in /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf)

bluez fails to setup A2DP connection with 2nd bluetooth dongle
with error "Unable to select SEP"

I did some initial digging in bluez source and my senses suggest me that
its pulseaudio related problem, but of course to understand source fully
it will take a week or so, and I dont know if I have this time. At least
now I don't.

Keep up the good work!

Best regards,

PS: I updated bluez to troubleshot issue where I couldn't connect to
A2DP source that as it turns out is implemented in pulseaudio and bluez,
and only to find out that this is fixed (yay!)

Moreover your new module the 'module-bluetooth-policy' makes the source
work completely automatically.

But all this is not related anyway to the issue I am describing here.
Its cool though to stream sound from my tablet to PC via bluetooth and
then to two bluetooth headphones. Its pretty pointless but works well,
except the issues I described above.
