Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-control-
When I turn on my bluetooth headset, it reconnects automatically, as I can see in the drop-down menu of the bluetooth status area applet. But it's often not listed in the Hardware tab of the Sound control panel. It's not listed in the Input or Output tabs too, so I can't activate it for input or output.
I can workaround this by rebinding the bluetooth headset. Repeated attempts to reconnect also help sometimes, though sometimes the headset is then listed in Hardware, but as Profile: Off and I'm not able to change that.
I have seen this on both my desktop PC and laptop, both running Ubuntu Karmic. I'm using a Philips SHB 6110/10 headset.

Looks very much like an issue in bluez's handling of alsa or pulseaudio devices it needs to advertise when a new bluetooth audio device is connected. Reassigning to the 'bluez' package.
Murray, can you confirm whether you've upgraded your system since this bug report, and if you're still seeing this issue?
Thanks!
