Eh, go figure. I tried connecting to S705 headset to my smartphone, and while it also was able to connect, android kitkat only wanted to send the audio to my speaker. Must have been something IN the S705. It didn't matter that I had turned it off, charged it and tried it with both devices. I went ahead and "forgot" both devices and the S705 on each, then paired it back starting with my smartphone and that worked. After I finished what I was working on, I just tried 15.10 as well and that is now working too.
Sometimes tech just torques me the wrong way. :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1524600 Title: Pulseaudio + Bluetooth Sap Failed Sink Creation Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I was listening to music through my bluetooth headset earlier today with no issues. I did step outside and had a little issue with the distance, but the connection never dropped. I was about to listen to some more. Headset connected according to the GUI, but a sound test did not work, and of course no music would play. I figured bluez was the more appropriate package to file this under, but I also did generate a bug report for the pulseaudio pid which I'll attach.
