I don't know what simple-endpoint is, but I would guess that it's not needed with bluez 4. I think the problem is that you don't connect any of the audio profiles of the bluetooth device. Just pairing is not enough. I don't know how to connect the profiles from command line, so I can't give exact instructions, but with e.g. Gnome 3 the profiles are connected when I click on the bluetooth applet, click on the device name, and then toggle the "Connection" on/off switch. -- Tanu
