Ok so that wolfson doc is how to record from the BT headset which probably is not required yet 
unless you want to do voice recording. However I still don't see quite how to switch the BT PCM to 
GSM and vice versa.

So any help would be appreciated. The alsa.state files with over 100 entries is also quite hard to 
use, it would help if the 2 or 3 specific entries of those 100 entries that are required for BT to 
GSM could be pointed out.
