Bug Description
This way once a user pairs & connects a bluetooth speaker device pulseaudio will auto switch to it.
As it stands now users have to open sound settings & switch manually. It's bad enough that auto discover & connect don't work, (can be scripted thru bluetoothctl), no sense adding to frustration

I like the idea. It annoys me too that this isn't the default behaviour...

I'll do some testing, see if we can get it in to artful soon and xenial later.
