Bug Description

Calls work just fine, which is in the "Telephone" part of the car's UI.
When changing to Multimedia mode and pairing with a Nexus 4, no audio is played, nor is any audio playable later through the phone's own speakers.

This is a 2012 Volvo S60 (Norwegian)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Pair with car multimedia system
2. Confirm that the car display shows "Playing on Nexus 4" (or something to that effect)
3. Play song

What I expected to happen:
Audio should have been played through the car's speakers

What happened instead:
No audio was played
Playing any audio, even after turning off bluetooth, does not work

Phone:
mako using Vivid @ r58

Confirming this on another car (2015 Honda Civic).

However, in my case, I can play audio, and the phone's speakers are used. Changing songs with the car's audio controls doesn't work either.
What logs can I post to help solve this?

This was solved for me with OTA10. Has been working fine ever since.
So I guess this is a "Works for me" post.
