[pulseaudio-discuss] RFC: Adding "headset" form factor sinks to the "phone" intended role

[Colin Guthrie]

Hi,

As reported earlier today by Patrick Ben Koetter[1], his device (a
Logitech Logitech Wireless Headset) is not marked as being appropriate
for phone streams.

IMO, this headset is a good example of what you *would* want to use for
phone calls.

What do you think? should we include the following patch, or is there
situations that make this illogical?

diff --git a/src/pulsecore/sink.c b/src/pulsecore/sink.c
index ff4cc17..3224467 100644

-        if (pa_streq(s, "handset") || pa_streq(s, "hands-free")) {

             pa_proplist_sets(p, PA_PROP_DEVICE_INTENDED_ROLES, "phone");
             return TRUE;
         }

Cheers

Col
