Description:

After upgrading to [lib]dbus-1.8.4 from dbus-1.8.2, my Bluetooth audio headphones stopped working. I was able to successfully pair and connect my headphones, but PulseAudio was unable to recognize the device and list it as a valid audio sink. When I downgraded dbus back down to dbus-1.8.2, PulseAudio again recognizes my headset and I can successfully use them again.

Additional info:
* bluez-5.19-1 / bluez-libs-5.19-1
* dbus-1.8.4-1 / libdbus-1.8.4-1
* pulseaudio-5.0-1 / pulseaudio-alsa-2-2

Steps to reproduce:
1. Upgrade to dbus-1.8.4 from dbus-1.8.2
2. Restart
3. Connect bluetooth headphones, and see that PulseAudio does not register the headphones as an audio sink (seen either in Gnome Control Center or with 'pacmd list-sinks')

This task depends upon

Is this still an issue with current versions of dbus and pulseaudio?

No, I haven't had any problems in a while.
