[pulseaudio-discuss] Help needed configuring Bluetooth speaker with system mode

[Northern Lights Info]

Okay, good, small amount of progress.
So the daemon keeps running now but now I have no audio output when I try
to play a wav file with paplay /home/testuser/testsound.wav
--device=bluez_sink.A0_B4_A5_1E_9D_E6
The play button on the speaker lights up while the command is running but
then I see Failed to drain stream: Timeout

Here¹s the partial log:

to roll!
