Is anybody able to reproduce my findings on Xenial with pulse from my PPA, i.e trying to select A2DP doesn't work, but when you manually kill and restart pulse A2DP works?
I just tried on yakkety with another bluetooth controller with pulse from zesty and I didn't even need to select A2DP, it was selected and worked... Something weird is going on here, so I think I will push the fix for this bug through such that people can actually use their devices, and try and track this profile issue down. Not even sure its a race at this point... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574324 Title: pulseaudio crashes when connecting to bluetooth headphones (due to ubuntu changes?)
