| Routing audio between SoC and Bluetooth should be possible through HCI
| (that is, BT is connected via USB to SoC). The chips shipped in the
| Freerunners have default eeprom setting (they call it ps keys) to route
| SCO audio (i think that doesn't affect A2DP) over PCM interface. This
| setting can be changed but after that one has to issue a special
| command every time he wants to route the next SCO communication over
| PCM.

That sounds like a great workaround, although unless it exposes some
digital audio device class entity it sounds like work to stitch it
together into something you can pipe audio into.

| Unfortunately, the BT earpiece i have here for testing works only with
| laptop for now (with the same bluez), with FR i hear only ambient noice.

Keeping it all digital on USB would be a superior solution.  You can get
these EDR stereo headsets now it would be a nice feature.
