Ok... Seems that if I kill pulseaudio with killall pulseaudio, and get it to automatically reload by playing some audio, I am able to then successfully switch to the A2DP profile, and it seems to work fine, even after a reboot...
I think there is a race condition, that newer versions of Pulse have fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574324 Title: pulseaudio crashes when connecting to bluetooth headphones (due to ubuntu changes?)
