For connecting I have written shell script, which use qdbus:

  BT="XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX" # replace with your BT address

  # first disconnect everything
  qdbus --system org.bluez `qdbus --system org.bluez | grep $BT | head -1 2>/dev/null` org.bluez.AudioSink.Disconnect 1>/dev/null 2>&1
  qdbus --system org.bluez `qdbus --system org.bluez | grep $BT | head -1 2>/dev/null` org.bluez.Headset.Disconnect 1>/dev/null 2>&1
  qdbus --system org.bluez `qdbus --system org.bluez | grep $BT | head -1 2>/dev/null` org.bluez.Audio.Disconnect 1>/dev/null 2>&1

  # connect
  qdbus --system org.bluez `qdbus --system org.bluez | grep $BT | head -1 2>/dev/null` org.bluez.AudioSink.Connect
  qdbus --system org.bluez `qdbus --system org.bluez | grep $BT | head -1 2>/dev/null` org.bluez.Headset.Connect

  # set pulseaudio profile to a2dp
  pactl set-card-profile bluez_card.$BT a2dp


For pairing is possible to use bluez-simple-agent (python script, needs
only python dbus packages). Some info is on arch wiki:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluez4#Pairing_with_bluez4

I guess, just download and extract that script from bluez4 package.
Should work out-of-box as it does not depend on any bluez/bluetooth
packages...

Note that you can have registered only one bluez agent, so maybe
killing some gnome/kde/... SW will be needed.
