Hello.
After an update to F33 beta, I had troubles with my BT audio devices. I know Fedora maintainers cannot do anything about it and I've already sent a bug report to rpmfusion https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5786
So, just in case somebody will have the same problem as I did:
I was using pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld on Fedora 32 without any issues and I've recently updated to Fedora 33 beta. After that, whenever I've connected any audio bluetooth device, pulseaudio crashes and a device disconnects. This was happening for my Sony BT headphones as well as for JBL BT speaker.
A workaround solution for me was to remove pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld and install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth from Fedora's repositories but it wasn't that straightforward because some parts of gnome has this package in dependencies so it'd end up uninstalling protected packages so I had to remove it manually using RPM and then install the official one.
rpm --erase --nodeps pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld dnf install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
Have a nice day.

rpm --erase --nodeps pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld dnf install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
This is where using the shell can help:
% sudo dnf shell
erase pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth run
and it will do it all in one transaction, allowing the dependency to be maintained.

Do not run rpm directly. Use dnf-swap instead:
sudo dnf swap pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
