Hi Guix!
I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that I I've paired and connected to
my guix machine. They show up in the 'configuration' tab of
pavucontrol. By default the profile is 'Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP)'.
When I try and change the profile to 'High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink)'
this fails and the headphones are stuck in the HSP profile.
I see the following line in `/var/log/debug' when attempting to switch
profiles:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
W: [pulseaudio] module-bluez5-device.c: Refused to switch profile to a2dp_sink: Not connected
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It looks as though this may have something to do with pulseaudio running
as the GDM user: [0]. My current work-around for this is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ sudo killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
to make pulseaudio run as my user.

For what it’s worth: if you have a setup that doesn’t require pulseaudio
it is possible to use bluez-alsa (running bluealsa as a daemon) and
configure it to use the a2dp profile. I’m using this on a headless
“server” in the living room to send music to bluetooth speakers.

The second workaround requires writing a configuration file to the gdm
user’s home directory. Is this something that we could do in the gdm
service configuration?

Ideally I'd like to use pulseaudio as I have multiple streams that I
send to my bluetooth speaker. Nevertheless, I tried to give bluez-alsa a
go but I failed to kill pulseaudio. It would always start back up as the
GDM user.

Ideally i'd like to stop GDM running pulseaudio as I can test out your
solution above and it may fix this issue. I'm unsure how to modify GDMs
configuration, however.
