[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#757731: [bluez] Bluez5 does no longer support the Headset/Handsfree (HSP/HFP) profiles

[andrea.furin at slacky.it]

I've found a way to use pc like an headset with Android phone (for 
making callings).
!!! I've use pulseaudio from jessie-backports: I don't know how much 
this takes risks ;-) !!!

In /etc/apt/sources.list add:

deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib 
non-free

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install pulseaudio=7.1-2~bpo8+1 
pulseaudio-utils=7.1-2~bpo8+1 \
     pulseaudio-module-x11=7.1-2~bpo8+1 
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth=7.1-2~bpo8+1 \
     libpulse-mainloop-glib0=7.1-2~bpo8+1 libpulsedsp=7.1-2~bpo8+1 
libpulse0=7.1-2~bpo8+1 \
     libpulse0:i386=7.1-2~bpo8+1

create a file (with same ownership of /var/lib/gdm3) (create directories 
if necessary)
/var/lib/gdm3/.config/pulse/client.conf

autospawn = no
daemon-binary = /bin/true

Install "ofono"

in /etc/pulse/default.pa
modify the line:
load-module module-bluetooth-discover
in:
load-module module-bluetooth-discover headset=ofono

Restart pulseaudio:
killall -9 pulseaudio
(is not necessary "pulseaudio --start" because from pulseaudio 6 it will 
restart automatically)

For now it seems that:
- if in /etc/pulse/default.pa you have add "headset=ofono" you will have 
the headset;
- if not you will have a2dp (restart pulseaudio every time).

Good luck
