Hi Bernhard,

so we have something that is called lmp_esco_capable.

Anyway, I do not thing this is the right approach. I think what we should do is just reject a connection attempt for transparent eSCO connections (since we only use them for wideband speech anyway) when connecting to a device that has no eSCO support.

For CVSD based attempts, we should start with non eSCO parameter settings if we know that the remote side can not support eSCO.

The reason is that you still need to follow through with defined parameter sets from the HFP profile.
