Bluetooth headset shows up in sound settings only on initial setup, but won't appear on subsequent connects

[nimu]

When connecting to a BeeWi bluetooth receiver, which identifies itself as a bluetooth headset, ubuntu successfully pairs with it and it shows up in the sound settings as an audio output device. But this works only once. Subsequent attempts to connect with the device are also successful but it won't be listet as an audio output device anymore.

I tried removing the device from the paired devices list and re-pairing but it still does not show up.
