Hi John , I got same problem when updated to 4.36. I got error ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.c:(audioservice_expect) ..... ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth..c:(audioservice_recv) Bogus message .... I could not remember exact error message.but it is similar your message. In bluetooth daemon log , i got BT REQUEST < BT GET CAPABILTIES Invalid message length In code , i checked message header length is zero.hence it terminated client socket. Then i assumed that problem is with alsa , so i reinstalled bluez-* packages and rebooted. i tried aplay to play a song it started , immediately i aplay pcm write error mesage.so i concluded that its problem with aplay . i tried rythem music box in Ubuntu 8.10 .Finally , I heard song in Motorola 850 Headset.
