Parrot Zik not recognised by Pulseaudio

I have connected my Parrot Zik to my computer through a bluetooth dongle. I can do it via bluetoothctl or gnome-settings and it connects correctly. However the headset does not show up in my PulseAudio as a valid output device.

What would be the best steps to debug this? dmesg doesn't seem to show anything useful.

Versions at time of posting

pulseaudio 5.0-1
pulseaudio-alsa 2-3
bluez 5.22-2
gnome-bluetooth 3.12.0-1

Re: Parrot Zik not recognised by Pulseaudio

Exactly same problem here. It used to work fine until few weeks ago.

This is my journalctl output:

Re: Parrot Zik not recognised by Pulseaudio

So I did some digging in my pacman logs. The only suspicious thing I installed about the time when the problems started was Skype. So I removed it, restarted, and now my Parrot Ziks work again. Do not ask me why. Bellow is pacman log of all what happened today today. Maybe those lib32-* things that came (and were removed) with Skype were to blame. Maybe some weird coincidence.

[2014-10-08 13:11] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -S bluez-utils'

[2014-10-08 14:02] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Rs skype'

[2014-10-08 14:02] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] That means you NEED a working PulseAudio setup to use Skype for voice chatting.
[2014-10-08 14:02] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] If you get distorted sound in skype, try adding PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 to your
[2014-10-08 14:02] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] env before starting skype. Something like 'export PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60' in .bashrc, for example.

Nah, the same problem again.
