The solution described here helped all of a sudden: http://askubuntu.com/questions/175933/why-did-my-bluetooth-headset-disappear-from-sound-settings-and-how-can-i-get-it

All you need is to set card profile. First look up your device ID:

~$ pactl list cards short
0 alsa_card.pci-0000_01_00.1 module-alsa-card.c
1 alsa_card.usb-Generic_Turtle_Beach_USB_Headset_0000000001-00-Headset module-alsa-card.c
2 alsa_card.pci-0000_00_14.2 module-alsa-card.c
8 bluez_card.C8_84_47_04_21_6F module-bluetooth-device.c

Then you use the above ID to bind the profile to the card:
~$ pactl set-card-profile bluez_card.C8_84_47_04_21_6F a2dp

The device shows up in the list again.
