It was reported that PulseAudio causes error messages in syslog from dbus-daemon: Jan 14 04:51:32 gentoo dbus-daemon[2492]: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="error", sender=":1.15" (uid=1000 pid=2864 comm="/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog ") interface="(unset)" member="(unset)" error name="org.bluez.MediaEndpoint1.Error.NotImplemented" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.1" (uid=0 pid=2670 comm="/usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd ") The default policy on the system bus is to not let any method call replies through if they have not been requested, and apparently bluetoothd doesn't want replies to the Release() call. This also changes the reply type from error to normal reply. The "not implemented" error didn't make sense to me. We don't do any cleanup in the Release() handler, probably because there's nothing to do. If there is some cleanup that we should do, then it's a serious bug not to do it.
