Bug Description

Tested using the bluetooth stereo in a Mitsubishi FUSO Rosa and a Ford Territory (both less than three years old, Australian models), using a bluetooth-stereo (A2DP) connection.

With other (Android) devices, the Mitsubishi FUSO Rosa displays complete metadata, whilst the Ford Territory displays only basic metadata (artist/group and track information).

bq Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Edition:
* OS build number: OTA-9
* Ubuntu Image part: 20160123.1
* Ubuntu build description: Ubuntu 15.04 - armhf (20160123-115651)
* Device Image part: 20160108-efc96d8
* Device build description: VEGETA01A-S23A_BQ_L100EN_2009_160123
* Customization Image part: 20160111-926-36--vivid

Reproduce:
- "Pair" Ubuntu mobile device with another device, which has a display and is capable of displaying metadata (artist/group, track, album and/or coverart information) from bluetooth audio input.
- Play music on Ubuntu mobile device.

Result:
Music plays through slave device, however no metadata is displayed.

Expectation:
To be able to see artist/group, track, album and/or coverart information whilst listening to music over a bluetooth connection.
