GNOME 3.16/Fedora 22: when I connect to my phone via Bluetooth, a microphone slider is shown in the system menu. This is a little disturbing: I've never used my phone as a microphone for my computer. I don't know why I'd ever use my phone as a microphone. It feels like the microphone is in use without my consent, and I'm being listened to. I've been told that this issue is due to PulseAudio using the headset profile for phones by default, hence I'm filing the bug here.

We should default to the A2DP profile for phones, and switch to the headset profile when an application wants to use the microphone instead.
