Troubleshooting GStreamer Audio Pipeline for HFP/HSP Bluetooth Connection on Raspberry Pi

Hello Guys I have another HFP/HSP question I have to connect a phone to a computer to Tx/Rx the phone's audio. Using bluetooth, there are 2 option-> HSP and HFP. I thought of connecting my phone to my RPi using bluetooth, making my RPi mimic a HFP HF while the phone as usual be a HFP AG. On my RPi(with a external BT dongle) i was able to successfully connect with the Phone and was able to detected as a Headset on my phone. But now comes my blocker. There are no source or sink to where i could attach my gstreamer pipeline.

Btw @melta101 I cant remember what the problem was but I set a pi up in my house with the stereo as an audio sink and it was an absolute pain in the ass to get it working right, I definitely needed to mess about with things to get the audio part working at all.. then there was a bunch more faf making it work after a reconnection.. if I get a chance I'll see what the config on that pi is but currently very far from computer 🤓

what seems to be the way is bluez + pulseaudio for now But the above only works with Headset(only A2DP profile) quite good ngl (include aptx HD) My mobile is able to detect my rpi, but upon connection[I am able to telephony control], there seems to be no sink/source to interact with it

I feel you at the ending Now a days i just connect all my SBC/ FPGA boards with a ethernet Hub and leave it be maybe once of while clean it.
