Finally I figured it. Actually beside playback of pavucontrol
there is a icon which toggles between BT & ALSA.
Thanks a lot :-) I wonder why not the option inbuilt in volume
control !!
Hi,
I can see the BT through pavucontrol.Through blueman , BT is
already configured with A2DP.
But in playback of pavucontrol the play back device is ALSA. At
audacious->output no BT device seen :-(

Have you configured pavucontrol? Under the "Output Devices"
tab you should see the BT headphones and other audio devices
in your system. If you don't see the BT device (even if you
do see it) then go to the "Configuration" tab and make sure
the BT device is in Hi fi playback mode (A2DP) and not OFF.
Now start audacious and play something. Go to the "Playback"
tab in pavucontrol and see what device audacious is playing
on. Assuming you have more than one playback device
configured just click on the button next to audacious and
select the BT device from the droop down list. Make sure the
volume control is up near 100%. Go to the "Output Devices"
tab and make sure the volume is up on the BT device.
Hopefully you are now listening to what audacious is playing.
Hope this helps. I have been using
BT devices for several years now in KDE.

Through blueman I have selected Audio profile as A2DP sink.
pavucontrol also shows the device. Till now all are as
expected.
But audacious doesn't send music to BT head set. Have I forgot
anything to set/configure ?
Any help is much appreciated,
Bob
