Do you think it would be a lot of work to move this logic to a separate
module? As discussed before[1], I'd prefer there to be
"module-bluetooth-policy" that would take care of choosing profiles
automatically etc. Autoloading module-loopback could be the first
feature of that module.

I have some backlog with Pulseaudio mails and reviews, so unless Colin
or Arun handles it quicker, it may take some time before these patches
get properly reviewed.
