[Bug 199266] Re: [Hardy] Bluetooth-applet sees BT headset and pairs, does not show under "audio"

[hackel]

I'm also having a problem with this.  Using the bluetooth PCM  described by Steve above, I am able to play to my headset with mplayer by manually specifying the alsa device, but am unable to configure either gstreamer or pulseaudio for this device.  It DOES show up in bluetooth-applet preferences under "Audio service", but this doesn't seem to do me any good.  I know BT+PulseAudio is a Google summer of code project, so that might not work yet, but it should at least work with ALSA.  I've tried using gstreamer-preferences and manually setting the sink to:
alsasink device="bluetooth"
but whenever I go back, it resets it to the default alsasink, because the "bluetooth" device does not show up in the list of devices.  It will not play with rhythmbox or anything else.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, since I can't tell if it's even
-supposed- to work.  Documentation on this is very sparse.  I certainly
hope it will work, but my guess is this should be a feature request.
