Description
In PulseAudio 0.9.14, you can connect to a bluetooth audio gateway (Motorola DC800, in my case) via the following command:
pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device="bluetooth"
and the following ~/.asoundrc file:
pcm.bluetooth {
type bluetooth
device "00:00:00:00:00:00" #bluetooth address goes here
}
However, when you start sending audio to that sink, pulseaudio crashes and you have to kill it (pulseaudio -k) and restart it (pulseaudio -D).
I've attached the output from pulseaudio -vvvvv. Line 205 is where the command above was entered. Line 379 is where "bluetooth" was chosen as the default sink via the pavucontrol gui. Line 441 is where an audio mp3 file was opened in vlc and began playing. Line 986 is where pulseaudio crashed.
Audio does come out of the bluetooth device for about 2-5 seconds (choppy audio, cutting in and out) before pulseaudio crashes. Also, this happens if you begin to play the audio on another sink, then move it over to the bluetooth device (via pavucontrol). Audio will play for a few seconds (less than 15) and be very choppy. Then pulseaudio crashes.
