My patches for automatic switching are part of pulseaudio 10. So this
problem is fixed.

This is expected behavior. Your headset in A2DP Sink mode does not
support microphone.

And this is expected too. In HSP/HFP mode is used CVSD codec which is
sampled at 8 kHz. Same what is used in telephony system.

So what you wrote is expected and correct behavior. Your headset does
not support anything else, it is by bluetooth design.

I think you can close this issue with title "ad2p sink profile mic not
available". Really by bluetooth design A2DP sink profile does not
support microphone and it is intended behavior.

The fix which is in pulseaudio 10 is automatic switching between A2DP
and HSP/HFP profiles based on fact if some phone application want to
access microphone or not.
