Subject: openSUSE 13.1: bt headsets lose connection

In openSUSE 12.3 bluetooth operations were mostly ok. In the last few
days I have upgraded from 12.3 to 13.1 and now none of my bt headsets
can remain connected. Pairing is not a problem, but then they
immediately disconnect.

I have posted a bug at gnome-bluetooth, but it seems that a previous
similar bug has been tested and found that gnome-bluetooth may be
excluded. Here is the bug report:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712379

I have run a test connection using bluetoothd (5.11) in debug mode, and
have attached the output in file bluedump.txt.

Also I have tried running bluetoothd with the -E option and no change.

I understand that it is possible this may already be known, and that
pulseaudio may be involved. But since I have the debug output I thought
I would check with the linux-bluetooth community first.

Thanks.

If your headset only has support for HFP/Hansfree, it likely won't work
with PulseAudio yet/anymore. PulseAudio is currently adding support for
this.
