Public bug reported: Problem: When using Bluetooth headset, the audio profile won't switch to Handsfree when an application is using the microphone. e.g. "arecord", or Firefox with conference call services.
Note that, manually switching the profile to Handsfree does make the recording work, the issue is the lack of automatic switching. Steps to reproduce: 1. Connect to a Bluetooth headset 2. Ensure there is Handsfree profile in Sound page in GNOME Settings, in the drop-down list of Output Devices but do not click into it. Use the Headset profile. Also ensure that A2DP Sink is used. 3. Run command "arecord -d 5 output.wav", speak to the mic, and observe any change to Sound settings Expected: 1. The Output Devices list should switch to Handsfree profile (HSP/HFP) of the same Bluetooth device, and corresponding entry in the Input Devices as well. 2. When playing the audio with "aplay output.wav", there should be a speech recorded from the Bluetooth headset. Actual: 1. The Output Devices list still using the Headset profile and A2DP Sink, and the Input Device is kept using the original, or unlisted if no other input device is available. 2. Unable to record the audio, no sound from the audio file, or the audio is recorded from other microphones.
