Of course it does. HSP/HFP (i.e. telephony) duplex is supported just
fine.

A2DP (i.e. hifi music) is a playback only protocol, hence we supported
only playback until now.

What is currently being worked on is allowing PA to become an A2DP
headset practically. i.e. that you can send from your BT device music
to PA to be playe.

So let me stress this again: telephony with HFP/HSP is supported just
fine in duplex, recording as well as playback.
