Ok my issue may be different than yours I suppose.
Using blueman fixes it so/so, I can disable the headset profile and have A2DP running. And it smooths out if I don't use the mouse long enough for it to enter sleep mode. I note that the ul/dl counters on blueman are at 27.5 kb/s up and 428 b/s down while listening to A2DP audio. The moment I wiggle the mouse or click any buttons the upstream drops to 2 then raises to about 12 kb/s and downstream 1.4 b/s.
At this point I am willing to take the pulseaudio dev's suggestion that perhaps I have a crappy dongle... I am using the Logitech Bluetooth 2.0 EDR dongle that came with the MX5000 Keyboard/Mouse combo.
Still it is kind of odd that the bitrate drops like mad when I use the mouse.
I suppose I could test this theory by using the headset with this dongle & mouse combo in (ugh) Wintendos and see if I get the same behaviour.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, Chris.
