I have a Lenovo T-61 running Debian 7.0 (Wheezy). It runs Alsa rather than PulseAudio. I just bought a Bose AE2w headset, which operates by Bluetooth, including the A2DP profile. http://worldwide.bose.com/productsupport/en_us/web/ae2w/page.html?src=PTS00003
The Lenovo has a bluetooth adapter, a Broadcomm BCM2045B (BDC-2). http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_Bluetooth_Daughter_Card_with_Enhanced_Data_Rate_%28BDC-2%29 Bluez is version 4.99-2. I am new to bluetooth. If I understand the Blueman Device Manager 1.22 and the LEDs on the headset correctly, the two paired. The "headset service" also connected. I see data going by in the Manager, at about "16 B/s". However I get no sound on the headset. I do have sound on the Lenovo's speakers as usual. I called Bose' technical support. I was told that the profile support must also be supported by the hardware of the laptop. Broadcomm's web site does not indicate hardware support for any profiles. http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Solutions/BCM2045 Suggestions? -- The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. -- U.S. Const.
