[pulseaudio-discuss] Problems with bluez-4.101 and pulseaudio-4.0

[John Frankish]

I've compiled pulseaudio-4.0 and pavucontrol-2.0 on a linux-3.8.10 system and things work fine in general.

Using pavucontrol I can switch seamlessly between my laptop speakers and a usb headset, but for some reason I cannot connect to bluetooth devices.

If I understand correctly, I need the following in audio.conf:

Enable=Source,Sink,Headset,Control,Media,Gateway
Disable=Socket

I paired using simple-agent, then ran pulseaudio -vv, but all I get is this:

D: [pulseaudio] bluetooth-util.c: Registering /MediaEndpoint/HFPAG on adapter /org/bluez/13639/hci0.
D: [pulseaudio] bluetooth-util.c: Registering /MediaEndpoint/HFPHS on adapter /org/bluez/13639/hci0.

I saw somewhere that bluez-5 needs simple-endpoint to be run - is this the case with bluez-4.101 and, if so, what syntax is required?
