This bug seems to be affecting me, specifically a UE Megaboom (device
info below). Pairs fine, but doesn't show up in output devices,
therefore audio continues to play via internal speakers.
I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 with Gnome 3.20.4 on a Dell XPS 13 (9350).
Attached are some log files using 'grep pulse /var/log/syslog*', as
mentioned above.
This is somewhat outside of my comfort zone, so if you need more
details, you may have to bear with me - many thanks...
(Please ignore the device name - someone next door kept trying to connect...)

Title:
pulseaudio crashes when connecting to bluetooth headphones (due to
ubuntu changes?)
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in pulseaudio source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Status in pulseaudio source package in Yakkety:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Impact:
A patch we carry for Ubuntu touch introduced a change that originally
was required to make sure PulseAudio did not crash. This patch was
ported to PulseAudio 8 in Xenial, but the patch author's bluetooth
hardware that was to hand at the time worked so was assumed to be ok.
However, the opposite is now happening, i.e PulseAudio is crashing
with a subset of Bluetooth hardware.
Regression potential:
Very low to none. As can be read in this report, much debugging and
testing has been done to find the problem, and the eventual fix.
Moreover the change is the removal of a patch hunk that removed a line
of code originally present in PulseAudio.
Test case:
NOTE that this test case applies to bluetooth hardware that is
identified as not working in this bug report.
1. Install, or upgrade to Xenial or yakkety.
2. Pair your bluetooth device in the bluetooth settings in the relevant
settings application for your desktop environment.
3. Once paired, you will notice that sound stops working, as pulseaudio has
thrown an assertion error.
4. You do not have to remove your audio device from the paired device list,
but it may be easier to do so for the next part of the testing.
5. Update to the version of PulseAudio in xenial-proposed which is
1:8.0-0ubuntu3.1, or in yakkety-proposed, which is 1:9.0-2ubuntu2.1.
6. Re-pair your device. Audio should continue to work, and you should be able
to switch to your bluetooth device and use it.
Original bug report:
When I attempt to connect my Jaybird Bluebuds X to Ubuntu 16.04
pulseaudio crashes, this does *NOT* happen with a Jambox which leads
me to believe it's an intermittent problem with some hardware. This
did not happen on Ubuntu 15.10 (which was an upgrade of 15.04).

I have also attached a debug dump of Pulseaudio when attempting to
connect to the headphones.
