I am not sure if I understand correctly your setup.
Headphones are not to be used with HSP/HFP if they do not have a mic (if they are not a headset). In the case it is only headphones you should use A2DP with Sync (bluetooth)
The Mic of your webcam would be then a Source. You need pulseaudio-module-bluetooth installed (check). You need pulseaudio set correctly
Check pacmd list-sink-inputs pacmd list-source-outputs
might be you have to set input/output manually
All of the Bluetooth headphones I have, include microphones. Only two models (Inland 87099 and Creative) have the electronics to support the HSP/HFP profile.
My intent was to use the headphone mic in one of these for online meetings (Zoom, Jitsi, etc.), but under Debian, this isn't working with the installed software. pulseaudio-module-bluetooth is installed, as is ofono, blueman, bluez-tools, bluez, bluez-obexd and libbluetooth3.
This exact same setup worked when I had TDE/PCLinuxOS installed with the same packages as above (the libbluetooth package might have been named differently).
Under PCLOS, I used the PC's on-board audio at the time. I do not know if the new PCI-E sound card I have now, has anything to do with this issue, even though the card's /Front Microphone (unplugged)/ entry shows activity in the PA volume control, until I mute it.
With either the Inland or Creative headphones connected on the HSP/HFP profile: no mic, no audio in the headphones, no audio from the PC speakers. Changing profile to A2DP resumes the audio from the headphones, the headphone mics never worked under A2DP.
pacmd list-sink-inputs lists one input, the headphones. list-source-outputs indicated 0 (zero) source outputs available.
