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:
- Connect a mobile phone to computer using Bluetooth, and make sure "Media audio" on the phone is turned on.
- 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.
