Just to be clear here, WBS is already supported what is not supported
is hardware based codecs, we spend a lot of time enabling WBS on oFono
but it looks like people are now trying to come with their own
solutions and complaining about lack of WBS is not really justified
since the combination of BlueZ + oFono has been in use by the car
industry for years but desktop folks has not been interested in a
proper HFP solution so instead we have modem manager, network manager,
etc, which doesn't even cover all desktop use cases properly as you
are experience first hand here.
