Good news! My (reworked) patches from comment #31 were finally accepted into pulseaudio git. Autoswitch support for media.role=phone applications will be in pulseaudio 10.0. And autoswitch support based on heuristic will be in version after 10.0 (but disabled by default).
media.role=phone patches for pulseaudio 10.0: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=bde2ff8794a9363b1f7f2c683b160268ce371770 https://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=e32a462cc4201d9c3c7305d0f806d16a09f08875 heuristic patch (after 10.0): https://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=b245fb41e17a4c74a2226f9202788aa883a340e9 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508522 Title: Mic is not available with A2DP Bluetooth profile Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: pulseaudio I'm testing a Nokia BH-905i headset (see http://www.wissel.net/blog/d6plinks/SHWL-8AZGGF ) on Ubuntu 10.10. The Bluetooth module correctly identifies the headset and the both audio profiles "HSP/ HFP Telephony duplex" and "A2DP High Fidelity Playback". For music playback only A2DP is suitable (HSP/HFP sounds like listening to music played through an old telephone). A2DP does not have an INPUT mode, so use of the headset for VoiP isn't possible. What would be needed is a separate selection to allow to select A2DP for output and HSP/HFP for input. Smartphones (a lot of them *nix based) phones do that (or they switch on the fly?). Formal structure: 1) Ubuntu 10.10 2) Pulse-Audio 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21.1 consisting og pluseaudio, pulseaudio-esound-compat, pulseaudio-module-bluetooth, pulseaudio-module-gconf, pulseaudio-module-x11, pulseaudio-utils 3) Select high quality audio output and still use the Bluetooth microphone 4) Had to choose: either high quality audio or "telephone quality" with microphone I can change the profile without the Bluetooth connection dropping, but that's ridiculous. E.g. listening to music, a call comes in. Then I would need to switch the profile before answering. Please note that in Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile it's done automatically.
