It appears I spoke too soon - apart from this one occasion, I have been unable to connect to Bluetooth headphones or headset using blueman or gnome-bluetooth.

gnome-bluetooth seems to come closest to connecting - see pulseaudio -vv output below, but pavucontrol still does not show any Bluetooth devices to allow me to use them for audio.

This seems especially strange in light of the output " Stream properly set up, we're ready to roll!"

Any pointers on the command line syntax on how to connect the bluetooth device as an a2dp sink would be much appreciated.
