Hello! One month passed and I have not answer which solution would pulseaudio choose for HSP and HFP support. Could you please really look at my email about state of HSP / HFP support?

If you have not had time to discuss, compare and choose solution, please write at least that you are not going to choose option 5). -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
