Bluetooth disconnects

[grandcanyon]

The problem is that PA is being started by spawning it when Kodi starts. BT needs PA started before it can start so since BT naturally starts before Kodi which starts PA is started , BT is not connected to PA. When you turn on your headphones BT thinks there isn't a PA so it spawns a new one and connects to this which causes the disconnects.

I ended up wrote/found an upstart for pulseaudio and turned off autospawn. The downside is for some reason PA doesn't work with Kodi but once the BT HPs are connected Kodi pipes the audio through the BT HPs without creating a new PA. Since I use PI:HDMI when not using headphones it doesn't matter to me that PA through HDMI has no sound.
