This is a simple GTK tray icon to swap Bluetooth headset modes between the a2dp_sink mode and handsfree_head_unit mode.

Why?

The A2DP Bluetooth profile has much higher audio quality, but doesn't support being used as a microphone, while the HSP/HFP profile allows a headset to act as a microphone but reduces audio quality. By clicking on the tray icon and then selecting a headset, you can swap between these at will when listening to music or using your headset for videoconferencing.
