I'm running pulseaudio8 and bluez5 in a buildroot environment (RPi3). When I connect the smartphone I can successfully pair and authorize UUIDs for Advanced Audio Distribution and for A/V Remote Control. It doesn't ask for Audio Source. In fact pactl list sources doesn't show the bluetooth source, thus I cannot loopback with the local sink. The daemon is started in this way: pulseaudio --system --daemonize --disallow-exit --disallow-module-loading --exit-idle-time=-1 --disable-shm --fail I attach the system.pa file. Please feel free to ask me any other information you will need to help me to understand what I'm missing. Another question: what's the difference between modules bluetooth-discovery and bluez5-discovery?
