continued with Quote below. You can see my results in above code tag readout using the cat command . That is what your file should look like when done.
[General]
Enable = Source,Sink,Headset,Gateway,Control,Media
Disable = Socket
HFP=false
[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0
Then continued with these instructions
First, add the PPA:
Open a terminal window [CTRL-ALT-T] and enter the following:
Code: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cschramm/blueman
Enter the sudo password, and you should see this:
More info: https://launchpad.net/~cschramm/+archive/blueman
Press [ENTER] to continue or ctrl-c to cancel adding it
Press ENTER to add the PPA. After it is added, enter the following text:
Code: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install blueman pavucontrol pulseaudio-module-bluetooth -y
If you get any messages (you shouldn't) saying these are already installed, they can be ignored.
If your Bluetooth adapter is not Broadcom-based, you may reboot now.
My comment now. My bluetooth adapter is not broadcom so all I needed was a reboot.
Then open Bluetooth-Manager (Blueman) and use sink on right click menu to add the speaker (Soundmine)
to pulse audio controls. I now have working sound on my Skullcandy Soundmine external speaker.
There is no slider control to move in pulse audio for Soundmine. Just a bar

So issue with Skullcandy Soundmine with external usb 4.0 dongle is considered solved by me.
This I bet is the only Ubuntu 14.04 Skullcandy Soundmine hit on the net I bet.
So I expect a lot of hits on this thread.
Edit: Volume controls added in pulse audio after I ran setup in Blueman.
Edit2: Works good also on my Dell e5500 laptop with this bluetooth dongle

# SCO routing. Either PCM or HCI (in which case audio is routed to/from ALSA)
# Defaults to HCI
#SCORouting=PCM
# Automatically connect both A2DP and HFP/HSP profiles for incoming
# connections. Some headsets that support both profiles will only connect the
# other one automatically so the default setting of true is usually a good
# idea.
#AutoConnect=true
# Headset interface specific options (i.e. options which affect how the audio
# service interacts with remote headset devices)
[Headset]
# Set to true to support HFP, false means only HSP is supported
# Defaults to true
HFP=true
# Maximum number of connected HSP/HFP devices per adapter. Defaults to 1
MaxConnected=1
# Set to true to enable use of fast connectable mode (faster page scanning)
# for HFP when incoming call starts. Default settings are restored after
# call is answered or rejected. Page scan interval is much shorter and page
# scan type changed to interlaced. Such allows faster connection initiated
# by a headset.
FastConnectable=false
