Regarding the broken audio: I would suspect that the headset is buggy, because the volume handling code should be pretty well tested in pulseaudio, and I don't think bluetoothd touches the audio signal at all. To confirm that, I think it's somehow possible to capture the audio that is sent to the headset, but I don't know how. Maybe the bluez people can answer that (I'm a pulseaudio guy myself). Are you using the headset in the HSP or A2DP mode, btw? If A2DP, then that would suggest a pulseaudio bug, since I don't think the headset will get any notification via A2DP when you change the volume in pavucontrol. -- Tanu
