I have the exact same bug on up to date 16.04 beta (cannot connect to a2dp sink but hsp working), but i didn't have the bug before with 15.10...
If it can help, here is the message showing in syslog when autoconnecting to the bluetooth speaker: Apr 2 10:44:39 vaio pulseaudio[1890]: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: Transport Acquire() failed for transport /org/bluez/hci0/dev_A0_E9_DB_00_E2_4D/fd1 (Operation Not Authorized) I can confirm that is it, at least for me, related to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92102 , and that manually connecting to the speaker with "connect A0:E9:DB:00:E2:4D" with bluetoothctl make the a2dp sink available, while just connecting the speaker with the bluetooth applet didn't. No file modification required. Note that sometimes it fails to connect even with bluetoothctl, but trying once again the connect command connects successfully.

I'm bummed to see my bluetooth headset (Bose Soundlink overear) seems to have regressed in functionality. In 14.10, I was able to set the output profile either to a2dp or hsp/hfp (telephony duplex). In 15.04, it only works in telephony duplex mode. I can't get high fidelity sound playback to work at all.
