Comment 183 for bug 405294

Bumping this due to the fact that this bug is still very much present in 5, 6, 7, 8 and renders the act of using a bluetooth headset on most linux operating systems using pulseaudio utterly useless. The slightest blip throws the whole audio out of sync with the video. I noticed this when trying to watch a movie from a 6ft distance away (sill in range) but occasionally the signal would blip and cause said problem. Evidence in the logs:

Three of many lines:

Packages tested in Fedora 23:

rawhide:

    bluez-5.37-2.fc24.x86_64
    pulseaudio-8.0-3.fc24.x86_64

and also tried initially with:

    bluez-5.36-1.fc23.x86_64
    pulseaudio-7.1-1.fc23.x86_64

The rest of my findings are here, where someone else has also mentioned seeing this on Gentoo with PA 5,6 - I have tested 7 and 8:
