A2DP bluetooth makes pulse stuck

[algspd]

I discovered that when i go away from my computer with my a2dp headphones, the sound starts failing and after a while, it stops. Then the music player gets stuck. Would it be possible to make pulseaudio check, not only if headphones are paired (they doesn't become unpaired) but if the link quality between headphones and computer is good enough? If the link cuality becomes bad, Would it be possible to redirect sound to speakers until bluetooth device becomes ready again? I've realised that is what happens when a2dp device becomes unpaired, but when link quality is poor it doesn't become unpaired.

Unfortunately BT does not offer the necessary functionality to implement this.

Ok, so I wonder if could it be possible to make pulse switch to another output device when bluetooth fails.

We already implement that. If a sink goes away and another sink exists and "module-rescue-stream" is loaded we will move all playing streams from the dying sink to the surviving sink.

m-r-s is loaded by default. So unless you have modified your configuration manually this is exactly the behaviour should get.

The problem is that if I turn off the a2dp receiver manually, by pushing the button, all streams on a2dp move to speakers, BUT if I go away with the a2dp receiver (if it's too far or signal is bad because of anything), the a2dp receiver is still linked and pavucontrol shows it as an output device, but after a few seconds pulse crashes.

Ah, PA crashes? So this bug is about PA crashing? Crashes should be fixed. Please provide a backtrace of the crash, as described here:

Closing due to lack of response.
