Re: iPhone as bluetooth audio source for buster

most likely you need to connect with the appropriate profile.
I forgot already how the gnome gui looked like for it, but there was a pop
up menu where you can select sink or source for the audio.
I also think it is a shame - bluez5 seems to be much better etc. etc., but
unfortunately works worse with pulse audio :(
I don't use iPhone but doesn't matter - same problem, so what I do is to
choose the audio profile for source and connect the phone.
Might be the phone can also tell which profile to use.
You can try this in bluetoothctl.
"0000110a-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb" => "A2DP Source"
"0000110b-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb" => "A2DP Sink"
I am not sure if the following works, cause no one knows what happens in the
background, but I tried it and it plays fine here.
[bluetooth]# menu advertise
Menu advertise:
Available commands:
-------------------
uuids [uuid1 uuid2 ...] Set/Get advertise uuids
service [uuid] [data=xx xx ...] Set/Get advertise service
[...]
export Print evironment variables
[bluetooth]# service 0000110b-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
then connect from the phone the PC
Let me know if it works - just curious - I spent many days with Bluetooth
last year :) bringing BT manager for TDE back to life and buteo-syncml on
the Sailfish.
As for the command related to PA

pactl load-module module-loopback
source=bluez_source.xx_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx.a2dp_source
sink=alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
Last but not least, remove the directory and cookie ~/.pulse* and reboot or
restart PA.
