You need to start the hsphfpd.service from the hsphfpd-git package.

Hi @SpineEyE.

TL;DR The libopenaptx dependency seems to be required by the pulseaudio process to work properly.

When I clean up the make dependencies with pacman -R $(pacman -Qdtq) and restart all relevant systemd services, I notice that my bluetooth headphones do not re-appear in pavucontrol anymore. If I re-install libopenaptx manually and restart all relevant systemd services everything works fine again. And lsof /usr/lib/libopenaptx.so.0.2.0 shows me also that it's being used by the pulseaudio process. So the libopenaptx dependency seems to be necessary in this case to make it work properly. In my case, I simply marked the libopenaptx package as explicitly installed using pacman -D --asexplicit libopenaptx.

Sorry for that long comment and thank you for providing these packages ;-)

Thanks @SpinEyE. The version thing is indeed strange. It seems as another commit is now referenced. You also forgot to increase pkgrel on the last change (but maybe this is not a big problem because the two commits are only some minutes apart).

Yeah, I overlooked that, the dependency is fixed. hsphfpd is not strictly necessary, pulseaudio won't crash with it. I've still added it as a dependency to avoid further questions.

Also the package version has made a jump backwards. I'm not completely sure why but I don't want to introduce an epoch version in order to stay on the same major as pulseaudio to avoid dependency problems.

This should be changed back to pulseaudio-alsa in the PKGBUILD then. Also is hsphfpd-git needed for this to work? Then it should be added to dependencies!

As far as I can see pulseaudio-alsa consists merely of a configuration file and it's separate from the pulseaudio PKGBUILD.

The optdep pulseaudio-alsa-hsphfpd does not exist. Is this an error?

Steps I did in Manjaro 20.2 to make this package work

1. Uninstall pulseaudio

sudo pacman -Rd --nodeps pulseaudio

1. Install and enable hsphfpd-git

yay hsphfpd-git
sudo systemctl enable hsphfpd.service

1. Install pulseaudio-bluetooth-hsphfpd

yay pulseaudio-bluetooth-hsphfpd

1. Reload pulseaudio

pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start

Note: You might need to unpair and pair it again.

:)

Thanks @SpineEye for Bringing @pali's work to us.

Please create also the lib32 package. Without it it's not possible to replace the official package in Manjaro. Thank you!

Sorry for the noob question. And thank you for the answer.

Replace paru with your preferred AUR helper. And please do a simple web search before asking such questions.
