Bug Description
I have an android phone (2.3.6) and a DELL E6500 running kubuntu precise.
The phone has been paired to the computer in order to use bluetooth for internet access (as I prefer this to the wifi hotspot to do tethering).
Unfortunately, at this point, whenever the phone is close to the computer, the two autoconnect for audio transfer and it gets hard to use the phone, as the audio is routed to the computer (that incidentally does not seem able to propagate it to its speakers and microphone).
Is there some way to prevent PC with bluez to announce itself as a headset or audio device and autoconnect for this?

You can add "Source" to the Disable= list in /etc/bluetooth/ audio.conf.
However, the necessary links between the sources and sinks should not be getting done automatically. Could you please attach the output of 'pactl list short modules' ?
