I couldn't make pulse-bluetooth work and I read source is not available yet for pulse-bluetooth . This command fails every time even when blue-tooth is already working with alsa pactl load-module module-bluetooth-sink sink_name="a2dp" address="00:03:89:58:30:C1" profile="a2dp" Failure: Module initalization failed also I loaded the discover module and It loads without problems but no new devices are shown Anyway, shouldn't it work with alsa ?
