I'm assuming this is for HFP or HSP? At least I'm not aware of other
significant profiles using (e)SCO. Since the HFP specification defines a
set of recommended parameter combinations I don't think we necessarily
need any user-space facing interface for this (with the exception of the
mSBC/CVSD codec selection which is needed for HFP 1.6).

Instead, the kernel could simply start with the S3 settings and fall
back to S2 and finally S1 if failures are encountered during the
connection setup. For mSBC the starting point would be T2 with a
fallback to T1 in case of failure. Do you agree that this would be an
acceptable solution?
