The bluetooth controller is a Pluggable USB Bluetooth Dongle (0a5c:21e8 - BCM20702A0) with updated firmware.

This looks like a problem with PulseAudio configuration. oFono does not 
handle SCO data, PulseAudio does that. In order to do that, PulseAudio 
needs to register an agent with oFono. Then the SCO socket will be 
established and the fd handed off to PulseAudio to process the audio data.

I have no idea how this is accomplished in PulseAudio.  This question is 
being asked fairly often recently.  Does PulseAudio have an 
FAQ/documentation for this yet?
