           Summary: Bluedevil will not connect to shared headset.
           Product: unknown
           Version: 1.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: firebringer11 at gmail.com


Version:           1.0 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I share a bluetooth headset between my phone and my computer. In KDE 4.5
series, bluedevil would allow me to connect to the headset while the phone was
also connected, but 4.6 does not allow this.

Odder still, I installed blueman - a GNOME bluetooth utility, and I could
create the connection without problems. It would also show as connected in
bluedevil.

If I turn off my phone (so that the computer is the only device connected to
the headset), bluedevil will make the connection. Bluedevil also creates an
exclusive lock on the device, such that if I connect the computer to the
headset first, my phone cannot connect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Establish pairing with headset on phone and computer individually.
2. Connect to headset with phone
3. Try to connect to headset from bluedevil while phone is also connected.

Actual Results:  
After several seconds, get a notification that the connection timed out.

Expected Results:  
The computer should connect to the audio sink service of the headphones, while
leaving the hands free headset function connected to the phone.

The headset is a Motorola S305 set of bluetooth headphones. It functions as
both a phone handset+microphone and as stereo headphones.
