Comment 78 for bug 972063

Comment #55 by penalvch seems to give some sense of how this bug is being tracked, as a Dell Inspiron N411Z issue, and other similar but different bluetooth bugs related to pulseaudio seem unwelcome here, for good reason. More clarity on exactly what this bug covers would be welcome.

I'll note though that the debugging ideas in here are very valuable for bluetooth and pulseaudio bugs, so it is worth reading, until that info is summarized somewhere else. Especially because bluetooth is way more complicated than the bug-reporting hints suggest. Keywords: lsusb, pactl, hciconfig, module-bluetooth-discover, module-bluetooth-device.

But I'm still puzzled at the current status of this bug. It has been described at various times as kernel-related, as bluez related, and as pulseaudio related. The current status is "confirmed" for both bluez and pulseaudio, and "incomplete" for linux (ubuntu). But my sense is that it is a kernel bug, not a bug in bluez or pulseaudio, Could someone clear that up?

I'll note in passing that I have a bug in precise 12.04 on a system76 lemu2, with a 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio headset, which doesn't show up in pulseaudio after being paired properly. But it works fine in 14.04 beta1, and using blueman in 12.04 at least gets it working as A2DP headphones (but not HSP microphone input). And I guess I should report that as a separate bug....
