If a bluetooth headset is connected and pavucontrol is started, pavucontrol terminates immediately. The only clue is when pavucontrol is started from the command-line, the following message is output: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Gtk::IconThemeError' Aborted Supplying a replacement audio-headset-bluetooth.svg (eg, in $HOME/.icons) avoids the terminate and shows the icon on the "Output Devices" tab and "Input Devices" tab. The terminate also occurs if the headset is connected while pavucontrol is running. Tested with pulseaudio-0.9.17, bluez-4.52 on 2.6.31 kernel. Regards, Peter Hurley PS - I saw the open call for art - is this likely to happen with other device configurations as well?
