I have a PiZeroW set up as a headless Spotify connect device. The OS is the latest Raspbian Stretch. I have the audio output connected through a Pimoroni PHAT DAC. The device is setup using instructions from Raspotify.
This setup works perfectly well with good connection and audio. I am now trying to extend the capability of this device to become a bluetooth connection for audio from other sources, I installed the bluetooth package that includes blueman bluetooth manager and pulse audio:
sudo apt-get install blueman pulseaudio pavucontrol pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
I am able to see the PiZeroW on my bluetooth devices and am able to connect the devices to the Pi and vice versa. From the VNC viewer I am able to see that the sound and audio control panel see the HiFiberry DAC as the input device and the output device but there is no audio being played.
pi@pizerow:~ $ aplay -l

This is the output of the aplay -l / -L commands.
As I mentioned the device works well as a wireless Spotify dvice so I know the DAC is functioning and the output leads are properly soldered.
