Partially confirmed, but... * Only confirmed in Totem. VLC did automatically switch back to bluetooth for me (so its menu says). Except I then lost all sound. One possibly related observation is that VLC provides a menu for you to select the current audio device. I don't think Totem does or can (because GStreamer is too generalised to expose devices by name?).
* PulseAudio is designed to allow different applications to use different audio devices of their choosing. So choosing to ignore newly added devices may in fact be an application bug/feature. The recent fixes to PulseAudio mostly relate to default devices (that which is used at application startup, not switched to during application execution). ** Summary changed: - output doesn't switch automatically to BT speaker when available + Audio doesn't switch automatically to BT speaker when hotplugged after application playback started ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: totem (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: totem (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: totem (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Summary changed: - Audio doesn't switch automatically to BT speaker when hotplugged after application playback started + Audio doesn't switch automatically to Bluetooth speaker when hotplugged after application playback started -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1704807 Title: Audio doesn't switch automatically to Bluetooth speaker when hotplugged after application playback started To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1704807/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
