How i solve it:

1) Modify the /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf
================================

[General]
Enable = Source,Sink,Headset,Gateway,Control,Media
Disable = Socket

HFP=false

[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0

2) Check for pulseaudio module :
==========================

$ pactl list | grep -i module-bluetooth

If you dont have :
     module-bluetooth-policy
     module-bluetooth-discover
     module-bluetooth-device

Just do :
$ sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
$ pulseaudio -k
$ pactl load-module module-bluetooth-device
$ pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect

3) Connect the bluetooth headset
===========================

Use blueman to pair, and connect audio sink
Use pavucontrol to change for A2DP (even if blueman said "audio profile off")

Please confirm that works for you too.
