To reproduce bug

Pair headset, connect to Headset Service
Audio Profile "Telephone Duplex HSP/HFP" is automatically selected (as revealed by blueman)

Audio from Banshee, Youtube, and the Sound Settings sound test are all
so choppy as to be unintelligeable.

Not sure if this is relevant in any way, but was unable to pair to the
headset for about a week during the ongoing Precise Beta 1 phase... that
issue has recently resolved itself however.
