Bug Description

krillin ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed build 4.
bluez 4.101-0ubuntu19 armhf

SUMMARY:
When a Bluetooth headset (Sony SBH50, Motorola S10-HD) is connected to krillin and a call/sms is received, no notification tone is played through the headset. Instead it plays normally through the device loud speakers.

We have seen on some other versions of headset (Jawbone ERA, BQ Avrha Strauss) where a new sms notification tone is played through the headset, but not the call ringer tone.

STEPS:
1) Pair and connect the Bluetooth headset
2) Receive an incoming sms
3) Receive an incoming call

EXPECTED RESULT:
The notification tones should play through the Bluetooth headset

ACTUAL RESULT:
There is no notification tone played through the Bluetooth headset

So the expected behaviour is the following:
- HSP only devices:
 * No notification on incoming SMS
 * Ringtone notification (not with the same sound, as that's specific to the device)

- HSP/HFP + A2DP devices:
 * Notification on incoming SMS (like any other multimedia sound)
   - As it usually takes a few seconds for the sound to be resumed on the BT speaker, it might not be enough for the alert sound to show up
 * Ringtone notification (not with the same sound, as that's specific to the device)
