BT headset pairs and connects, but doesn't auto-select
I'm posting this hear because I'm using Gnome front-ends to negotiate the bluetooth profiles/etc, but I know that it might be bluez or PulseAudio that's "faulty" here. That said...
I've got a pair of bluetooth headphones that work great. They pair, connect, and play audio just fine. However, once they've connected, I have to go into the audio settings dialog and select them over the default "Digital Output" device. It's the epitome of first world problems, but I kind of expect Gnome to figure out that the headset is the intended destination for audio streams, much like it does when you plug headphones in.
So, what's missing? I found some lengthy discussion on potential bugs in Ubuntu 12.04 when I Googled for this, but they seem to blame bluez < 5.0, whereas I'm running bluez 5.28-1.
Thanks in advance.

Re: BT headset pairs and connects, but doesn't auto-select
You could enable pulseaudio's "switch-on-connect" module, as per wiki. This means that once a new audio device is connected, all audio input will be routed to it.
