I'm running Kubuntu 13.10 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T430 laptop.

I've got a Bluetooth speaker.

After a lot of troubleshooting i managed to connect to the speaker. bt-device reports:

$ bt-device -l

[Samsung] W_Audio (5C:F6:DC:88:05:62)



$ bt-device -i 5C:F6:DC:88:05:62

When i connect to the speaker, it plays a welcoming sound. When i click "Audio Sink" in the bluetooth manager (it's BlueMon i think), the speaker plays another sound, and a "Success" message appears in the bluetooth manager.

But the bluetooth audio does not appear anywhere in settings. There is no option to direct sound to the speaker. All the sound comes from laptop speakers and the bluetooth speaker is silent.

I installed pulseaudio and pavucontrol (with a bunch of other pulseaudio- and bluetooth-related packages). Pavucontrol on the Output Devices tab shows only the main audio device, but according to guides over the web, bluetooth audio should appear there.

So... Once i have the bluetooth speaker connected, how do i direct sound there?

Some dumps that might be relevant:
