Profiles can be connected from both ends, lets say the policy attempt to switch profile, lets say from A2DP to HFP, and for some reason it fails, the result would be "off" profile but then at some point the remote device decides to play some audio, not A2DP is playing but because the current profile is 'off' nothing is heard. > Georg told me that this patch isn't needed anyway, after the "bluez5- > device: Correctly handle suspend/resume cyle for audio gateway role of > ofono backend" patch. If that's true, then can we just revert this? It is not needed for regular cases, though what I just said above is still valid, also note that in both A2DP and HFP the device may refuse to resume or it can sometimes have a different policy, disabling inband ringtone for example can prevent SCO to connect until the call is actually in place but once it has been answer it would resume SCO but at that point the profile would be set to 'off'. Noted that although it was created for the ofono backend this is actually valid for native and A2DP profile, perhaps that what made the confusion since perhaps I should not had mention as ofono specific since it is useful regardless of the profile. -- Luiz Augusto von Dentz _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
