Bug Description
When I'm using my Bluetooth headset on a voice call in Firefox, only the monitor for the headset device (which transmits what I'm hearing from the computer to the other party) shows up in the microphone device list. I have to manually open up `pavucontrol`, go to the Configuration tab, and manually switch from `High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink)` to `Handsfree Head Unit (HFP)` for the nonmonitor version of the headset device (which transmits what I say to the other party) to show up. Then, when I'm done with the call, I have to manually switch it back in order to improve the audio quality.
This didn't happen in Pop!_OS 22.04. The monitor and nonmonitor versions of the device showed up in Firefox regardless of the configuration in `pavucontrol`, choosing the nonmonitor device automatically switched the configuration, and leaving the voice call automatically switched the configuration back.
