[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH 0/5] Add simple HSP support in new native backend

Hi Luiz,

What exactly do you mean by "modem in the system"? When I connect my
phone, there is an ofono modem, if I connect only the headset naturally 
there
isn't (and ofono does not notice that anything is connected). The 
headsets HSP
profile does not work in both cases, or more exactly it is displayed in 
pavucontrol
but switching to the profile does not do anything (Off and A2DP Sink are 
fine).

The question is: Can I use my phone and my headset with the same version
of pulse?
It does not look like it. Either I have support for the headset via the 
native
backend or I have support for my phone via the ofono backend.
So do I need two different versions of pulse, one compiled with the native
backend for my headset and another one compiled with the ofono backend
for the use with my phone?
