Description
When I pair my bluetooth speaker it starts in `Headset Head Unit` (speakerphone?) mode, according to the GNOME Sound plug. I have to manually change it to `High Fidelity Playback`.
`switchboard-plug-sound` does not currently support modes so bluetooth speakers that apparently support phone calls remain stuck in horrible sound quality mode.

Research direction
Review the switchboard sound plug and its PulseAudio integration to find how Bluetooth output devices and profiles are currently handled. The issue names no files or tests, so trace the existing sound-device entry points first. Done means compatible speakers expose selectable output modes and can use High Fidelity Playback instead of remaining in Headset Head Unit mode.
