1B would not apply in this case, at least as I envisaged it. As others
have noted, the headset prevents itself as a USB device and then
provides a data stream to be interpreted in userspace. The exception in
1B was for lower-level things like wifi chipsets.

And, as Vlad says, that post is only my opinion (albeit one on which I
have received positive feedback), not official Mozilla policy.
