yup, exactly.

BT has USB interface and PCM interface. Seems there's no way to tell BT to 
accept audio data via USB in SCO (bidir) mode, though there is a way/command 
that *should* work to switch audio input source but doesn't apparently. Might 
be a bug in FW, or poorly or undocumented proprietary command needed.
For A2DP mode (stereo output only) audio data is happily accepted on USB.

Any document about details of actual FW used inside BT module would help a 
lot.
Also asking manufacturer of module rsp chip might be worth a try.
