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).

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.
