blueman reports pulseaudio is too old

[Chris Bainbridge]

from .xsession-errors using Xubuntu:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/blueman/plugins/BasePlugin.py", line 65, in _load
    self.on_load(parent)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/blueman/plugins/applet/PulseAudio.py", line 173, in on_load
    raise Exception("PulseAudio too old, required 0.9.15 or higher")
Exception: PulseAudio too old, required 0.9.15 or higher

The offending code appears to be:

        version = self.pulse_utils.GetVersion()
        dprint("PulseAudio version:", version)

        if version[2] < 15:
            raise Exception("PulseAudio too old, required 0.9.15 or higher")

It looks like it is probably a simple error of only checking the minor number, now that pulseaudio is at 1.0.0 it will check 0<15 and raise exception.

Same here in Xubuntu 11.10 with PulseAudio 1.0. I've tried to bypass changing the check of the version as you mention but no luck.

My error is bigger:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I had the same problem. Getting the latest version of blueman from the ppa fixed it.
