Oh dear. And I thought USB audio was bad...

I wasn't actually aware that there were dual mode stereo/interactive 
headsets, but I see plantronics is selling one now. Clever how it's
spun as a feature ("Switch seamlessly between your phone and music from
your stereo!") and not a bug.

Is there a bandwidth problem, or just people being silly with the 
design?
