Cool, thanks.

The bad news is, the automatic foo is not working.

As you can see your device has a "form factor" of headset:
http://www.fpaste.org/abC4/#359

But the code that sets up the intended role only currently checks for
form factors of "handset" and "hands-free":
http://git.0pointer.de/?p=pulseaudio.git;a=blob;f=src/pulsecore/sink.c;h=ff4cc17331a0f2bf3364b1823708aab14e40fef3;hb=HEAD#l2710

IMO, I think a form factor of headset should have an intended role of
phone here, but others may disagree. I'll submit an RFC email to this
list to gather feedback.

Thanks for this :)
