Well, did some further experimenting, including your suggestion. Found out that pulseaudio won't react on pairing the headset(s) with settings headset=auto or headset=ofono in default.pa; only the default headset=native works, at least under Debian. Next, on studying my logs I started doing some fiddling with my dbus- settings, and to my surprise all of a sudden my problem was solved when I added a <allow send_interface="org.bluez.HandsfreeAudioAgent"/> rule to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf. (Took this from ofono.conf in the same directory) At about the same time, I also had an update on both pulseaudio and bluez, so that might have helped too. Anyhow, everything works just fine now. I have hsp/hfp on my Nokia BH- 104 and both A2DP and hsp/hfp on my Jabra Step. Bug can be closed, AFAIC. Greetings, Jan Outhuis
