[PROBLEM] Bluetooth Audio output (Transmitter)

[IriDium]

I've been doing some testing with this BT (Bloody Thing) and it works on OE and Raspbian Jessie (and even Kodi in xfce) but XBian no luck.

I've tried upgrading pulseaudio to 8.0 and bluez to 5.35 (OE 7 beta uses 5.39 (looks like that has to be compiled from source)) but still no luck. (In fact seems to break the RPi3 BT controller as it shows up as AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA

The only thing I can see is that I cannot install pi-bluetooth (Unable to locate package pi-bluetooth)

Could this be the issue?

Ok - Found it deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ jessie main

Didn't work :-(

Got round it by removing the raspberrypi.org sources and running apt-get install -f

Didn't seem to make any difference. Doh
