Comment 2 for bug 490874

This continues to be a sporadic issue. In some instances, my system or my headphones enter a state such that the connection with my headphones is not created. I've even had a total lock up of my n900 once when trying to pair my headphones (they seem to behave similarly: mostly work, but occasional issues). So it seems like its definitely an issue upstream in the kernel since it seemingly affects other distros and even architectures.
