Recent PA versions can be both clients and providers of A2DP audio (i.e. "Hifi"), however only clients for HFP/HSP audio (i.e. "telephony"). However I know that someone mentioned that Intel (?) wrote some code to allow PA/Bluez to act as HFP/HSP device, too, but that code seems not to be available publically. It might be a good idea to ping the Bluez folks about this as the core HFP/HSP/A2DP implementations comes from them, on which PA then builds.
