Public bug reported:

When I'm using my Bluetooth headset on a voice call in Firefox, only the
monitor for the headset device (which transmits what I'm hearing from
the computer to the other party) shows up in the microphone device list.
I have to manually open up `pavucontrol`, go to the Configuration tab,
and manually switch from `High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink)` to
`Handsfree Head Unit (HFP)` for the nonmonitor version of the headset
device (which transmits what I say to the other party) to show up. Then,
when I'm done with the call, I have to manually switch it back in order
to improve the audio quality.

This didn't happen in Pop!_OS 22.04. The monitor and nonmonitor versions
of the device showed up in Firefox regardless of the configuration in
`pavucontrol`, choosing the nonmonitor device automatically switched the
configuration, and leaving the voice call automatically switched the
configuration back.
