Description of Problem:

I am using my computer as my mobile phone's audio output through Bluetooth A2DP, but the profile is not correctly exposed in PulseAudio tools.

pavucontrol shows a device with a single profile "Off", and doing anything to this device in the UI breaks audio connection until reconnecting.

pactl shows two profiles: off and audio-gateway, but the latter has 0 sinks and 0 sources, and it seems switching profiles does not have any effect.

How Reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Connect a mobile phone to computer using Bluetooth, and make sure "Media audio" on the phone is turned on.
2. Open pavucontrol and switch to the "Configuration" page

Actual Results:

Despite A2DP audio is working, the UI looks like the device is disabled:

Expected Results:

The selection should at least contain the profile current in use.
