[pulseaudio-discuss] Audio routing on Bluetooth handsfree unit

'Twas brillig, and Burkhard Stubert at 28/12/09 12:08 did gyre and gimble:

For reference, please use 0.9.21 - 0.9.17 through 0.9.21 are all
basically bugfixes for 0.9.16, so it's probably best to use .21 if you can.

I believe it's a matter of writing an appropriate service description
for bluez so that it is advertised correctly. I can't remember what has
been done/said about this before and as I've not tried myself I'm just
going on vague memory.

I think it's possible but hopefully someone can give a definitive answer.
