There _is_ documented, approved support for using both HFP and A2DP together. Take it from the horse's mouth (i.e. the Bluetooth SIG): http://www.bluetooth.org/docman/handlers/downloaddoc.ashx?doc_id=49216
Headsets capable of both high-quality media playback and microphone input areclassified as having the role "HANDSFREE WITH RENDERING DEVICE CAPABILITIES (HF_RD)". Full implementation guidelines are in the document. So my guess is that there's nothing holding back implementing this. Yay! Like profiles for other sound devices, Pulseaudio should offer a profile like "High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink) + Analog(?) Microphone Input (HFP Source)" for such devices. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508522 Title: Mic is not available with A2DP Bluetooth profile To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/508522/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
