You can install pulseaudio 0.9.14 from the  GNOME:Factory repository
[1]. First download the file GNOME:Factory.repo from [1] and then as a
root add the repo "$ zypper ar GNOME:Factory.repo" . You should be able
to install the 0.9.14 then. If you have any kind of problem, tell me.
I would like to help you. I am going to install and test this version
too.

No link helps to make the bluetooth (BT) headset visible to application.
The BT sound devices do not create /dev/ entries on their own. At
present the BT sound devices in openSUSE communicate with ALSA
soundsystem only. Thus you can use BT headset with applications which
support the output configuration to specific alsa device
(specified in ~/.asoundrc) [2]. If your application does not allow this
kind of configuration you can also try to set the default alsa device to
your BT headset too. This will help of course only if this application
sends the output to alsa.
