Pairing with Amazon Echo: Don't want Sink and Source
Pulseaudio 5.
I'm trying to pair a raspberry pi with my Amazon Echo where the Echo will function as a bluetooth speaker. The Echo supports being a bluetooth speaker... AND it supports sending audio to an external bluetooth speaker.
The problem is ... it pairs as both a sink and a source. Audio goes to the echo ... then back again!
I've tried adding the following to my /etc/bluetooth/
Disable=Source
DisablePlugins=
Even setting my BT class as 0x00010C, which is "laptop computer."
Any ideas on how I can stop this "double pairing"?
Thanks!

As you can see, this card has both a2dp and a2dp_source profiles. I can activate the a2dp profile, but I don't know how to change its priority so that it's default - or even better, delete that profile.
When I start pulseaudio, I see the following in syslog:
Feb 21 15:02:48 stringify-pi bluetoothd[601]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.15 path=/MediaEndp
Feb 21 15:02:48 stringify-pi bluetoothd[601]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.15 path=/MediaEndp
I want to delete the endpoint /MediaEndpoint/
Thank you for your assistance!

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie)
Release: 8.0
Codename: jessie
Then you are using Raspian. Not Ubuntu. It's not supported here. I suggest you post on the Raspian forum
Can you help with this problem?
