Bug Description

I'm trying today's touch preview image, trying to get bluetooth headsets working. After installing the package (see bug 1177421 ), PulseAudio gets the following error message:

bluetooth-util.c: org.bluez.Manager.GetProperties() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.3" (uid=32011 pid=260 comm="pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog ") interface="org.bluez.Manager" member="GetProperties" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.bluez" (uid=0 pid=99 comm="/usr/sbin/bluetoothd ")

...it looks like there is some permission error as pulseaudio is not allowed to talk to the bluez daemon over D-Bus. As a result, pulseaudio does not detect the headset.

There are no changes required to bluez for pulseaudio support, things already work on the desktop.

Furthermore, given that we've since had multiple reports of bluetooth headsets working properly on Touch, I'll close this as Invalid -- it probably didn't work before, but it works now, even if we don't know what was the difference.
