Just as a note for anyone who has this issue, I found a workaround that seems to persist well. basically not allowing the user access to the bluetooth control so GDM's pulseaudio cannot start and take over.

found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_headset

open terminal and run: setfacl -m u:gdm:r /usr/bin/pulseaudio (may have to run as sudo depending on current rights)

then restart pulseaudio

sudo pkill pulseaudio

This has worked for me and now shows up as expected.
