Same issue with the folowing BT headphones:
* Plantronic BackBeat FIT.
* Plantronic BackBeat PRO.
* B&O Beoplay H8.
The computer has a BT USB dongle:
Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
CSR8510 A10
USB ID = 0a12:0001
The following procedure solved the problem for us:
1. Purge Ubuntu pulseaudio packages and conf files. Backup and purge
pulseaudio user conf files too.
2. Install the corresponding packages from Debian testing (June 2016).
See attached script (get-pulseaudio8-debian-amd64.sh).
3. Restart.
4. A2DP profile should now work as expected with the default
bluez/pulseaudio configuration (Use pavucontrol to select A2DP
if needed).
Since Debian Testing (June 2016) and Ubuntu 16.04 are based on the
same pulseaudio upstream version (8.0) this suggests that this
regression is maybe due to a difference in Debian and Ubuntu
packaging: either the compilation options, the default conf or the
specific patches (e.g. Ubuntu packages include more specific patches).
