Re: HFP/HSP Telephony profile doesn't work with Bluetooth USB dongle

[Jonathan Kamens <jik@kamens.us>]

Hi,

I sent the below message almost three weeks ago and there have not been 
any responses that I've seen.

Was this the wrong place for me to report this problem? If so, where 
should I report it?

You can get a USB Bluetooth dongle for $2.88 on Amazon, so I don't 
really think cost is an issue, but if it is, then if there is a 
contributor to the code base who is willing to commit to working on 
this, I'm happy to mail him/her a dongle.
