I'll add a vote that this feature is definitely worth fixing. Little
bluetooth speakers, headphones etc. are proliferating for audio outside
of just phone calls. The gadgets all seem to include a mic, so you can
answer calls when listening to music transparently (great for voip too
of course). As mentioned above, other OSs handle this case. I suspect
every college student on earth is going to have these speakers in a
couple years, as it's such a seamless way to listen to music from the
phone/tablet/etc.

Googling around, it looks like A2DP does not support mic input. My guess
is other OSs support this by hacking A2DP mode to also support using HSP
for simultaneous input, though in the UI the user sees A2DP and HSP as
two mutually exclusive choices.

I guess one could just go look at how Android does it.
