[bluetooth] After claiming to connect no audio is routed to the headset

[Pat McGowan]

Once connected using phone or music apps do not result in any audio routed to them.
Also noticed that bluetoothd was at near 100% cpu after the first connection.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#primary-output>: "If you connect or pair headphones, or any audio output device except a secondary display, the primary output should change to that device."

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Adrien Béraud (aberaud)]

Yes Bluetooth Audio is broken on 13.10.

See related AskUbuntu question http://askubuntu.com/questions/370254/bluetooth-issues-ubuntu-13-10

One have to run "pulseaudio -k" in a terminal and than manually select the device in audio preferences to have it working.

I note that this is a problem for me on a Nexus 4. Connecting to Bluetooth speakers from a 13.10 Ubuntu laptop works fine, without having to "kill pulseaudio".

a2dp devices are working as expected, hsp is still being investigated.

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

Reassigning to Ricardo, since he's the one who is actually working on this.

Devices supporting A2DP currently get their audio properly set up for A2DP -- in other words, if it's a stereo device, you should be able to get sound from the Music App.

This is working for the majority of headsets, exceptions being investigated via other bug reports.
