Ok, I've found the problem, and reverting this one small change allows
all the bluetooth audio hardware I have here to connect and work.
For those following along with the technical side, I reverted/removed
one hunk from 0502-bluetooth-bluez5-bring-back-SCO-over-PCM-
support.patch:
@@ -1582,7 +1738,8 @@ static void stop_thread(struct userdata *u) {
if (u->transport) {
transport_release(u);
- u->transport = NULL;
+ /* Do not set transport pointer to NULL. When failing to switch
+ * profile NULL u->transport would assert. */
}
if (u->sink) {
I can only summise that this was relevant for vivid, but work on pulse's
bluez5 module between pulse in Vivid and pulse in Xenial improved this
situation.
As such, I've uploaded a new revision of pulseaudio to my PPA for
Xenial, ppa:themuso/ppa, with this hunk reverted.
Could everybody affected by *this* bug on Xenial please add my PPA,
update to pulseaudio in my Xenial PPA and report back and let me know
whether things are working for you.
Thanks

Title:
pulseaudio crashes when connecting to bluetooth headphones (due to
ubuntu changes?)
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
When I attempt to connect my Jaybird Bluebuds X to Ubuntu 16.04
pulseaudio crashes, this does *NOT* happen with a Jambox which leads
me to believe it's an intermittent problem with some hardware. This
did not happen on Ubuntu 15.10 (which was an upgrade of 15.04).

connect to the headphones.
