I tried to upgrade
-bluez to 4.36-0ubuntu2 from blueman PPA (I also tried Baptiste PPA with version 4.35)
-pulseaudio to 1:0.9.15-0ubuntu1~ppa4 from themuso PPA

but still it does not work:
Apr 26 23:24:01 manfredi bluetoothd[3210]: Unable to open seid 64
Apr 26 23:24:01 manfredi pulseaudio[3676]: module-bluetooth-device.c: Received error condition: Invalid argument

Answering to komputes:
there are two ways to access a bluetooth headset:
-directly via pulseaudio (but does not work, according to this bug)
-thorugh alsa, but does not work according to bug #350829

Note that skype and audacity use the second way, while pavucontrol uses the first. About gnome-volume-control, I do not think it will ever show a control for the headset, as it is not seen as sound card
