In my 14.04 bluez seems to be connecting ok. My headset connects with headset profile but I don't have audio devices to actually direct streams to the headset. This appears pulseaudio related. Listing the modules with "pactl list" I cannot find "bluetooth-device" and only my default audio sink. When I try to "pactl load-module module-bluetooth-device" directly it says "Failure: Module initialization failed".
I had some success when I did "pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover" it loaded the discover and device module and created an audio sink. Unfortunately I now have my headset twice in audio settings and it will only do "headset" I can't put it to a2dp.
At least as a headset it is working now.
