pulseaudio: a52 sink doesn't stream audio from bluez source

[GitHub issues - edited]

alsa-project/alsa-plugins issue #32 was edited from quequotion:

Sorry to beat a dead horse, and double if this is in fact a pulseaudio issue.

I recently configured bluez and pulseaudio to receive streams from devices over bluetooth (eg, to play audio from a phone over the PC's speaker system).

This works when the PC's sound card is set to profiles *other than* the A52 plugin (ie, pulseaudio's provided digital stereo output and also the [DTS alsa plugin](https://github.com/darealshinji/dcaenc)).

Only when set to use the AC3 output profile, audio from the bluez source is not produced.

pavucontrol shows the bluez _source_ is producing sound (the level bounces appropriately), but no audio comes out of the _sink_ (no level bounce in pavucontrol either).

Any ideas?
