Comment 2 for bug 672850

That's not the point.
I CAN switch the profile, but it is not practically usable.

On other OS (including smartphones): A call comes in, I click Accept and
take the call.
On Ubuntu/Pulse: A call comes in I click Accept and then hurry to find the
sound menu, the hardware tab, the profiles dropdown and change the profile
-- by then the caller has dropped since she couldn't hear me.
Another Hardware profile is needed that allows to use HSP/HFP *input* while
using A2DP output.
