There are two descriptors involved here. DBus 1.3 is needed to have BlueZ pass the RFCOMM file descriptor to oFono for the control socket. E.g. the socket where AT commands are being passed. This is done by using HandsfreeGateway and HandsfreeAgent. See doc/hfp-api.txt in BlueZ. The second descriptor (what ipc.c and ipc.h deal with) is used to pass the SCO fd to PulseAudio or gStreamer. This fd is used for Audio. Marcel or Johan might know better, but I think the reason for ipc.c and ipc.h was that DBus did not support fd-passing at the time BlueZ audio integration work was being done.
