Bug Description

This is currently occurring with pulseaudio 1:4.0 under Xubuntu 14.04.2 and Xfce 4.12.

Even though "load-module module-bluetooth-discover" is present by default in /etc/pulse/default.pa, it is not loaded at all on startup. It always must be manually loaded via entering "pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover" in a terminal prompt, or running a script which does that on startup (after a roughly 8 second sleep period). Without the module loading at startup by default, it makes using devices like Bluetooth speakers a real hassle, and I strongly doubt the average user would be able to figure out an easy resolution to this issue.

Just discovered that this is a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1274613. The problem does occur with the default Blueman package in Trusty, but installing the package mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1274613/comments/20, does indeed resolve the issue. Perhaps the Blueman package should be upgrade for Trusty users in the repos.

Changed in pulseaudio (Ubuntu):
