Guys

The API is not properly design for audio over hci that's why you are

there are some parts of the dbus api that would be used even for the hci
mode. Disconnecting the headset for example, since there is not an
equivalent alsa call. Disconnect/reconnect will likely be handled in a
single system gui that is outside the audio app.

We could disable those concurrent method while in hci mode as they probably

we need a way to tell the plugin that the sco (or a2dp) fd has been
invalidated, eg when disconnecting. This is broadcast over dbus and also
communicated over the socket to the alsa client so the alsa plugin will do
something sensible like use the wired audio. (similarly when the headset
reconnects during stream playback--the fd is now available and the plugin
needs to be told to re-request it)
