[Discuss] bluetooth

[David Kramer]

If you're seeing it connected, but not seeing it as a output device, is 
it possible you're actually connecting to some other bluetooth device?  
Sometimes I debug this by turning off the device, have the Linux box 
scan, then turn it on while it's scanning.  If it shows up while turned 
off you're seeing the wrong device.  If it doesn't show up even after 
turning it on, then you're seeing the wrong device.
