[CCing PulseAudio mailing list] In the PA side, double check that you don't have duplicated instances of module-bluetooth-device. There was an issue (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57239) similar to the one you describe, which should have been fixed for 3.0 (commit 41055145d7563c20fd58ed4b0a9b349c2363bb02).
