Bluetooth audio device listed as music player?

[peteruithoven]

One of my bluetooth headphones is listed as if it's a music player in the sound indicator:

It's also listed as monitor by PulseAudio volume control:

But, my other bluetooth device is also listed as monitor but doesn't show up in the list.

This seems to be a bug with bluez providing the org.bluez.MediaPlayer1 interface for audio devices that don't support it. It may be possible to work around this by excluding devices with the audio-card Icon property.

https://github.com/bluez/bluez/blob/c96d5ec7aafc8fd988f6f19b896115853b951d91/src/dbus-common.c#L71-L85

This would catch headsets and headphones which seems desirable, but also any generic audio device.

I've created a separate issue for bluez for the invalid interface: bluez/bluez#106
