Thanks, I'll check it out.

Hello Ehsan,

PipeWire's HSP/HFP bluetooth integration is currently tuned to transmit
audio over the HCI channel and encode/decode the audio in software. The
bluez_input and bluez_output nodes that you see in wpctl are basically
portals to that functionality.

I have not previously worked with i2s bluetooth modules, but my
understanding of them is that they provide a side-channel, in parallel
to the HCI channel, where you can stream raw audio and it gets
encoded/decoded in hardware. This side-channel is exposed via ALSA, so
you can see individual nodes in wpctl for that.

I believe to make this work, WirePlumber needs to be instructed to link
your speakers and microphone directly to the bluetooth alsa device
instead of linking them to the bluez_input/bluez_output nodes, which are
using the HCI channel.

Before making any changes to the code, you can try this manually. When
you make a call and you see the streams that you have pasted below, use
the pw-link tool to create links between:

* the bt i2c input node and "Communication Playback Endpoint"
* the "tlv320aic3106" (which must be the microphone input?) to the bt
i2c output node

(and forget about bluez_input / bluez_output)

If this works, then all you need to do is to write a wireplumber lua
script to integrate this logic into wireplumber.

Best regards,
George
