Hi list, I'm trying to use pulseaudio with a bluetooth a2dp connection (with module-bluetooth-device and module-bluetooth-discover; i.e. without alsa). My problem is that the A2DP profile is not automatically selected for the bluetooth card when pulseaudio is loaded when the a2dp connection is already active. Here is the relevant log part: # pulsaudio -C -vvvv [...] D: module-bluetooth-discover.c: Loading module-bluetooth-device address="DE:AD:BE:EF:00:00" path="/org/bluez/1062/hci0/dev_DE:AD:BA:BE:00:00" I: module-card-restore.c: Restoring profile for card bluez_card.DE:AD:BA:BE:00:00.

If I restart the bluetooth stack and create the a2dp connection after pulseaudio is loaded (using dbus commands), then the profile gets selected, the sink is created and the audio streams: D: bluetooth-util.c: dbus: interface=org.freedesktop.DBus, path=/org/freedesktop/DBus, member=NameOwnerChanged D: bluetooth-util.c: Bluetooth daemon disappeared.
