Bluez5 and Bluetooth Headset

Anyone around familiar with using Archlinux with Bluetooth Headsets? I seem to be having trouble with getting audio from the headset. Pulseaudio only lists the A2DP profile, which as I understand only does playback, not capture. HSP or HFP don't seem to be in the device profile list in pavucontrol. Read on the wiki that Bluez5 doesn't support those profiles, is there a less drastic solution than downgrading to Bluez4? I don't want to loose bluedevil to manage my devices.

Re: Bluez5 and Bluetooth Headset

There is very slow progress being made on supporting HFP with ofono and no good news for HSP.

After downgrading to bluez4, you could try blueman. I never used bluez5 long enough to try bluedevil or another frontend, but at least blueman is a huge improvement over gnome-bluetooth.
