>From an application's point of view "HSP audio packet handling" is done
just like with any other audio device. PulseAudio doesn't have any
special Bluetooth API, you just play and record audio using the normal
stream API. A new sink and source will be created for the headset when
it's connected.

RING and CKPD are ignored by PulseAudio, so you can't currently get
notifications about those, unfortunately.
