   yes, and it seemed to work.

this gives:
    --> pactl list short
    0       module-alsa-sink        device=default
    1       module-alsa-source      device=default
    2       module-native-protocol-unix
    0       alsa_output.default     module-alsa-sink.c      s16le 2ch 44100Hz       IDLE
    0       alsa_output.default.monitor     module-alsa-sink.c      s16le 2ch 44100Hz       IDLE
    1       alsa_input.default      module-alsa-source.c    s16le 2ch 44100Hz       IDLE
    0       protocol-native.c       pactl

but I have before to check whether pulseaudio is still alive, as it exits very often, as if there was a timeout,
which is not the case.

   no, but same remark as above for pulseaudio.

   it gives:
   -->pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
   3

I tried again bluetoothctl:

    bluetooth]# scan on
    Discovery started
    [CHG] Controller 3C:95:09:46:D6:74 Discovering: yes
    [CHG] Device B0:34:95:41:6A:43 RSSI: -89
    [CHG] Device 57:88:14:78:8A:48 RSSI: -43

    [bluetooth]# devices
    Device B0:34:95:41:6A:43 B0-34-95-41-6A-43
    Device 57:88:14:78:8A:48 SLBB  4 A1
    [bluetooth]# connect 57:88:14:78:8A:48
    Attempting to connect to 57:88:14:78:8A:48
    Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed

As I don't need to use the speaker far from the laptop, I solved
the problem by ordering a small wired speaker ...
But it's a pity that this basic facility is so difficult to setup on Linux, 
and so easy on Windows( 30 seconds)
