[Bug 1283003] Re: [Bluetooth + 14.04] Bluetooth headsets are not working after last couple of updates

[aanno]

Well, IMHO bluetooth is one big mess in ubuntu. I'm using a BT headset
for nearly 7 years now, and it has NEVER worked without some quirks.

Even this would be OK for me, but the quirks differ not only between
releases but also between updates. Hence you can never be sure if the
headset will work on any day... (BTW, why the hell we are STILL sitting
here with the legacy Bluez 4.x stack? I guess an upgrade to Bluez 5.x
could not make the state of affairs more encumbering.)

The one and only good news that I've got that I SUCCESSFULLY USED MY BT
HEADSET YESTERDAY (17.05.2014) on an up-to-date ubuntu 14.04/trusty.
This is trick/quirk that made things work:

> pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover

Given that, there are a couple of ticket out here that points into this
direction:
