Comment 16 for bug 1582213

The problem appears to be with setting up the input sink, which I couldn't care less about. If any knows of a way for bluez / pulseaudio to force a device to just connect as an output-only device (e.g., normal bluetooth speaker), I think I'd be fine, as I have no problems with numerous other bluetooth speakers.

If not, I think for me the key is to figure out why the input sink cannot be established due to the "device or resource busy" message. If I could figure out how to a detailed debug / strace of bluetoothd when it tries to establish the input sink, that'd be most helpful. I've tried before w/o finding anything helpful.

For me, I think the issue is not with pulseaudio but truly with bluez.

Given this, I'd like to request that my bug 1691556 be re-opened and unmarked as a duplicate. From my perspective, no evidence or explanation has been given for why my report was marked as a duplicate as this one. The errors I've been continually reporting are different than those reported by others, and the fixes that seem to work for others do not work for me.

For the record, here are the pulseaudio and bluez packages I presently have installed on my Ubuntu 16.04.02 LTS 64-bit on an Intel NUC i5 (NUC5i5RYH):
