Juanito:
'finally managed to get several long standing problems solved:

For several kernel versions usb headsets have been broken, but now mine at least seems to work

For several versions of blueman, bluez and pulseaudio there has been a conflict in audio.conf:

bluez/blueman require Enable=Socket
pulseaudio requires Disable=Socket

..using gnome-bluetooth's bluetooth-wizard, it now seems to be possible to pair and play music to bluetooth headphones (a2dp) with "Disable=Socket"

..and use pavucontrol to switch back and forth between the local audio card, bluetooth headphones and usb headset

Screenshot attached  :)
