 I confirm that I got it working with those two ppa and following
instructions at:
http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices

By pairing the device using the gui and then typing:
gconftool -t string -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/musicaudiosink
"alsasink device=bluetooth"

and ~/.asoundrc:

pcm.bluetoothraw {
        type bluetooth
        device 00:13:17:70:38:1B # Jabra BT620s
        profile "auto"
}
pcm.bluetooth {
    type plug
    slave {
        pcm bluetoothraw
    }
}

Sadly the HID on the headset doesn't pass through, but this is great
anyway.... I can listen to my music, now to make it work shared with
ekiga, sip registered to my pbx.
