Reading the comments it isn't clear the problem is on pulseaudio. In my case sometimes when I try to connect to my headset I get a crash on unity-control-center (not sure yet if it is related). After upgrading from Ubuntu 12.x I started to have this issue. I can pair my headset but when I try to connect it the system shows that the device is connected if you go on system tray menu and shows it is disconnected if you go through system settings -> bluetooth. But it don't work anyway.

I tried to pair a bluetooth stereo headset (A2DP compatible). The pairing process goes well, but after that I can't select it on the audio preferences. When I select it, it only shows the last selected item options and don't do anything. (he should switch to the headset output). I must mention that it worked very well on Ubuntu 12.04. This bug can be in the bluetooth stack or in unity-control-center or maybe pulseaudio. I actually have no idea.
