Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Nether the "Telephony" category nor the X-PulseAudio- Properties=media.role=phone setting in an application .desktop file are being honored in order to get PulseAudio to automatically direct telephony audio to telephony devices like a bluetooth headset. My bluetooth headset, a Blueant Z9i, is properly recognized as a telephony device by Pulse as a telephony device, according to the audio preferences applet, and audio can be directed to the device manually using the applet. However, Pulse will not direct the audio to the device on its own. Here is the content of the .desktop file: #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Lotus Sametime Connect 8 Type=Application Exec=/usr/bin/sametime80 Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/sametime.ico Terminal=false Categories=Application;Office;Telephony; Icon[en_US]=/opt/ibm/lotus/Sametime/shared/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.application_8.5.1.20100503-2230/icons/sticon.png X-PulseAudio-Properties=media.role=phone ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: pulseaudio 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu14 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-22.36-generic-pae 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic-pae i686 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
