On 17.10, when I connect a Bluetooth device (be it a speaker JBL Go or a headphone MDR-ZX220BT), it is set to HSP/HPF by default.

Moreover, when I try to switch to A2DP with the menu from sound settings of the device in gnome control center, nothing happens.

For the switch to a2dp sink to work, I have to use a script I found, called a2dp.py. Which is simply running pacmd set-card-profile #index a2dp_sink (and this is not always working)

How to make these devices use a2dp by default ?

A second related question, is how to disconnect a Bluetooth device simply without going into gnome control center > Bluetooth > mydevice > disconnect. From the top right menu like it was possible in 17.04, for example. I can't find a gnome shell extension for that.
