Do not know if they are going to merge it. You can look in discussion
that developers do not want to autoswitch to hsp profile if application
does not tell that to pulseaudio (because hsp profile has low quality).
So e.g. when you start parec (for recording sound from some input
device) PA devs does not want to use bluetooth hsp mode because it has
low recording quality and they think that user should manually allow
this... As you read discussion you could know that I do not agree with
their statements and I want to automatically switch to hsp mode (from
a2dp) when any application ask for recording. My v2 patch just fixing
code for deciding if recording application should be ignored or not. It
does not change anything other...

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.

  Check out attached screencast.
