pulseaudio (1:8.0-0ubuntu3.3) xenial; urgency=medium
[Luke Yelavich, Konrad Zapałowicz]
* Fixed multiple interrelated problems with using Bluetooth audio (A2DP),
where users would experience some combination of:
- Bluetooth headset/speakers listed but not selectable in Sound settings
(LP: #1283003)
- [regression] Bluetooth audio no longer supports A2DP (stuck in HSP/HFP
mode) (LP: #1438510)
- [xenial] Bluetooth device doesn't play any sound in A2DP mode unless set
to HSP/HFP first (LP: #1582213)
* Specific patches from upstream used to address the above problems:
- 0103-bluetooth-Add-support-for-automatic-switch-between-h.patch
- 0104-bluetooth-Add-support-for-automatic-switch-bluez5.patch
- 0106-bluetooth-Add-optional-heuristic-for-switching-betwe.patch
. Backport from upstream to fix a bug in Xenial where an incorrect
audio profile is applied for a headset connected over Bluetooth
making using it impossible.
- 0105-bluetooth-policy-do-A2DP-profile-restoring-a-bit-lat.patch
. Fix a crash that happens if the BT headset is the only non-monitor
source in the system and the last "phone" stream dies.
- 0700-pulsecore-add-new-card-profile-hook.patch
. Backport from upstream (commit 7b6260140149) to allow for correct
profile selection.
- 0701-bluetooth-bluez5-wait-for-all-profiles-to-connect.patch
. Backport from upstream waiting for all profiles to connect before
creating a card.

Bug description:
[Impact]
Bluetooth headset/speakers are listed but not selectable in Sound settings
(the correct device's options don't appear in the right pane). Hence no
Bluetooth audio is unusable.
[Test Case]
1. Pair a Bluetooth audio device with Ubuntu.
2. Go to Sound settings and try to select the device.
Expected: The Bluetooth audio device is selectable (its options appear in the
right pane when clicked and the selection stays on that device).
[Regression Potential]
Low. The SRU focuses on Bluetooth logic in pulseaudio, so that is the main
area affected. A combination of related A2DP bugs in pulseaudio in xenial means
it is difficult to get working at all without this patch. So highly unlikely
Bluetooth audio support could get worse. Since pulseaudio itself is being
modified there is always a regression potential in support for other audio
devices, but several audio devices have been tested and all continue to work
well with the patch.
[Other notes]
Related to bug 1438510 and bug 1582213. Possibly others too. The debdiff
which fixes this is attached to bug 1582213.
Please note that Bluetooth and Bluetooth audio support in xenial is
still not perfect. This SRU only aims to address a few of the most
troublesome issues. Please consider the fact that this is an
incremental improvement and some people are still likely to experience
some bugs related to pulseaudio and Bluetooth, even after this SRU.
The patch was authored by Luke Yelavich with help from Konrad
Zapałowicz. And it has received further testing over the past two
months by Konrad, Jim Hodapp and Daniel van Vugt. The debdiff proposed
here only changes the changelog wording from Luke's original PPA.
[Original Description]
Hi,
I found a bug in Ubuntu 14.04 !
I tried to pair a bluetooth stereo headset (A2DP compatible). The
pairing process goes well, but after that I can't select it on the
audio preferences.
When I select it, it only shows the last selected item options and don't do
anything. (he should switch to the headset output).
I must mention that it worked very well on Ubuntu 12.04.
This bug can be in the bluetooth stack or in unity-control-center or
maybe pulseaudio. I actually have no idea.
