This was my second attempt at getting this bluetooth up and running. I
updated the installation (bluez was the only one that updated,
everything else was OK).

I had one bump on the road, maybe if you're savvy, then you know, but I
didn't. The bump was that you must turn WiFi on to use Bluetooth.
Turning Bluetooth on but keeping Wifi off will not work, at least not on
my Pi. I kept getting the message "No default controller available" ...
and I couldn't turn on the BT Controller.

P.S. I'm using the "Player" side such that I stream sound from my laptop
or phone to the piCorePlayer and the sound comes through my stereo.

Yesterday I was impressed how apparently the source could automatically
switch from one to another (between LMS, phone and computer).

Today when I was playing music (through LMS on my NAS), the playlist
ended and I noticed my laptop was already connected, but when playing a
YouTube video, no sound. All volume controls were up, on the
piCorePlayer (obviously), on my amplifier (obviously), on the PC, in the
LMS (although irrelevant) and in the YouTube window. I could see that
the laptop was connected and piCorePlayer was the "Player" as it should
be. I have no idea where the volume went.
