Description:
I tried to use my Bluetooth Headset on my Arch Linux Plasma desktop with all updates installed.
It did not work, while the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_headset) claims that "Currently, Arch Linux supports the A2DP profile (Audio Sink) for remote audio playback with the default installation."
Fortunately, the same wiki article also says that "Without pulseaudio-bluetooth you will not be able to connect after the next pairing and you will not get any usable error messages."
There were really no useful error messages, but the reason indeed was that "pulseaudio-bluetooth" was missing from my system.
If I had a Gnome desktop installed, this package would have been pulled in via "gnome-bluetooth", I would expect a similar behaviour from "bluedevil" which is "gnome-bluetooth"s equivalent for a Plasma desktop.
After installing "pulseaudio-bluetooth", the headset worked just fine.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
bluedevil 1:5.11.5-1

Steps to reproduce:
Install Arch linux with a plasma desktop. See that "pulseaudio-bluetooth" is not installed by default. Try to use a Bluetooth headset. See that it does not work. Install "pulseaudio-bluetooth". See that the headset works now.
