Yep, that is my current workaround:

pactl load-module module-loopback source="alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo" sink="bluez_sink.78_47_1D_44_34_10"
pactl load-module module-loopback source="bluez_source.78_47_1D_44_34_10" sink="alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo"

Exactly. I'm not sure yet how to handle all the uses cases such as
mute and switching from the telephone speakers to the local speakers.

The idle watchdog is suspending the BT streams and the current
implementation calls BT_STOP.
