Hi All,
What is the status of bluetooth headsets and pulse audio for rawhide?
The release notes for pulseaudio 0.9.15 mention that as of that
release they should "just work" but the new pulse audio volume control
doesn't see the headset even though the headset is reporting as being
connected via the gnome bluetooth applet.

Did you install the pulseaudio-module-bluetooth sub-package?
I guess we should have gnome-bluetooth depend on it, to avoid surprises
like this.

Might be a good idea, however it's already in comps so not strictly
necessary right now.

That doesn't fix upgrades. Or installing gnome-bluetooth after the fact.

And I upgraded this system from F10 using yum.

Did you install the pulseaudio-module-bluetooth sub-package?
No but I did do a "yum list pulseaudio* bluez*" to see if there was
one or a bluez-pa package but apparently earlier when I checked I
missed it in the list.
I guess we should have gnome-bluetooth depend on it, to avoid
surprises
like this.
Might be a good idea :-)

On installing this and then restarting the BT headset shows up in the
pulseaudio input/output list but if you go out of range of the laptop
with the headset when you reconnect to in from the bluetooth manager
it doesn't show up again in the sound preferences again automatically.
Is this expected?

Hmm. There might be some issues left with that in the BT logic. Maybe
you can explicitly disconnect the headset in the applet and then
reconnect it again?

I've tried a few things and after some looking it might actually be a
kernel oops. I've reported a bug here with the output from dmesg.

Yes, this should work. PA picks up all audio devices that are
connected via the bt applet.
Make sure to install pulseaudio-modules-bluetooth for this to work.
Use pavucontrol's 'Configuration' tab to switch between HSP/HFP and
A2DP profiles.
There are problems with HSP/HFP audio on some cheap BT dongles
(ISSSC). However A2DP works perfectly well (even with lip-sync video
playback) on all hw I have toyed around with here.
If it doesn't work for you the best way to debug things is running
'pulseaudio -vvvvv' in one terminal (as normal user, possibly killing pa
first) and 'bluetoothd -nd' in a second terminal (as root, possibly
killing it first). Then watch the output while you connect the headset
via the applet. If you are unable to read the output please paste it
somewhere and drop by the #pulseaudio channel on freenode or file a bug.

Is that code specific to gnome-bluetooth or does it also work with other
bluez frontends, e.g. kdebluetooth?
No clue. I doubt they follow upstream bluez as closely as Bastien
does. Also, AFAICS KDE as a whole is not particularly warm to
PA. Without PA having such a feature does not make too much sense
however.
You should be able to run gnome-bluetooth inside of KDE as
well.
But hey, best thing is to ask the kde guys.
