I tried Jacek Kluza's fix to no avail. Didn't work in Linux Mint 17.1 XFCE. I have a Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon desktop computer which uses 'cinnamon-bluetooth' applet instead of blueman which does work. I looked at bluez and pulse stuff and the default.pa file in that machine and compared to the one with blueman (with above problem requiring the manual modual load workaround). At the surface, all seems pretty much the same except the bluetooth controller cinnamon-bluetooth vs blueman. So I believe the problem is specific to blueman. BTW, to even get the missing module-bluetooth-discover to load from the command line, I had to un install the blueman which I had loaded via an application manager and install blueman from the command line.

Observed: pulseaudio's module-bluetooth-discover does not load on login. My system does not detect and set up sinks when I connect to Bluetooth devices (including an A2DP speaker and a headset).
