I suffer the same symptoms. Used it in 14.04 (Ubuntu GNOME over here) and stopped working (though I did change lots of PPAs). Device is detected, paired correctly but it won't show up in Preferences > Sound.
Running 'paclt list cards short' (per #14) does not list this (only the built-in card), while in Preferences > Bluetooth device shows up as paired (and device responds accordingly). Weirdly, sometimes the toggle "Bluetooth" in Preferences > Bluetooth shows up as disabled, while the device acts like it is indeed paired (so it is enabled actually).

I tried to pair a bluetooth stereo headset (A2DP compatible). The pairing process goes well, but after that I can't select it on the audio preferences. When I select it, it only shows the last selected item options and don't do anything. (he should switch to the headset output). I must mention that it worked very well on Ubuntu 12.04. This bug can be in the bluetooth stack or in unity-control-center or maybe pulseaudio. I actually have no idea.
