I vaguely recall there was a package that needs to be installed for the
audio to work, but it does not show into dependencies, so it is not pulled
with bluez or pulse audio (this is based on jessie storie), while it is
providing the link between them. Perhaps you did autoremove not used
packages and lost it.
Unfortunately I upgraded as well and never had the time to see if audio via
bluetooth works in stretch
