May have answered my own question. There is a second BT profile named HSP/HFP (Headset Head Unit). Says it's unavailable.
if you want to try my work there is tdebluez in the repo waiting to go into mainline. if profile is available (it means you have the software installed) it would show up. The HFP/HSP comes with ofono if I am not completely wrong. I even came so far to use the phone remotely from the PC (using dbus direct calls for now - no time to write UI). Unfortunately there seems to be an issue somewhere down the pipe because PA crashes often when call is finished and in term kmix goes crazy 100% cpu.
The USB Bluetooth piece, has a Broadcom chip inside it, that I discovered hadn't worked properly with Linux at some point in the past. The USB piece is Bluetooth 4.0, but the headphones (Sentry BT300), I don't believe are 4.0. Curious as of any headphones must be (more or less) recent and high-end for the mic to work.
I have the PCLinuxOS TDE Mini image installed and although ofono is in their repo, it is not currently installed.
I'll install ofono and see what occurs.
