bluetooth headphones network

[Daniel O'Connor]

Very similar symptoms to:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/405294/comments/69

Adding a separate report given the comments about the multiple possible causes.

Setup:
 - "Supertooth" wireless headphones
 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
 - Centrino Wireless-N 1030 [Rainbow Peak]
 - Inbuilt bluetooth? (Not super sure how to find this out)
