Ahhhh, you're kidding!!!?? pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover returned, in my case, "26". Then, connecting as normal worked! So somehow the module, which was previously loading automatically, isn't any more. I just have to figure out how to make that automatic and I'm off to the races again. I also noticed that once again I have 2 copies of pulse running, one as user "Debian-<something>" (the full name is elided in ps -ef) and one as my normal user. That is presumably an artifact of the upgrade from Jessie to Stretch -- I had previously removed the system one to fix an earlier problem but it seems I can connect and use the headphones without doing so now, if I manually load the module. Thanks a lot for everyone's help with this one. Mark
