Comment 15 for bug 1582213

--------------------

@hife and @Mary Sherman (spot9019): Thanks for the speedy replies!

--------------------

@hife: Thanks for describing your workaround in greater detail.

I've already tried the a2dp.py script, it doesn't fix the problem for me. I just downloaded again the latest version and tried again, no joy:

```

--------------------

When I run this a2dp.py script and get the output above, the following are posted in syslog:

--------------------

```

--------------------
When I run "pactl list sinks", I see sinks #0 and #1 as the built-in headphone jack, and then the Amazon Echo as sink #15 in a suspended state:
