If your all you need is getting some audio going through then the
audio service latest 3.27 should work fine (as long as HFP support
isn't disabled through audio.conf). Since the list of features for HFP
is rather long and quite tightly bound to whathever telephony
subsystem you have, we've decided to create a plugin system for the
audio service where each plugin will act as an adapter to some
specific telephony subsystem. You'll probably see some basic support
for this kind of plugins already in the next bluez-utils release.
However, as I said if you don't need any of the more advance telephony
related features of HFP you should be able to get at least basic audio
going with the latest releases.

Howdy,
The end goal of my project is to get some amount of bluetooth handsfree calling built into a carputer (a topic that I'm sure has come up before).  It will be a legal requirement (Shortly) in my state to use hands free while driving.  Really all I need is to be able to answer & end the call - and of course be able to hear/speak to the party.  I'm not sure what would be classified as an "Advanced" feature, but I think I get the gist of it.

Thanks for your reply.
