I run pulseaudio 9.0 and bluez 5.36 on a Debian stretch system.
When having the following device successfully connected:
Device 00:0D:44:AE:7A:2A Name: H800 Logitech Headset Alias: H800 Logitech Headset Class: 0x240404 Icon: audio-card Paired: yes Trusted: yes Blocked: no Connected: yes LegacyPairing: no UUID: Audio Sink (0000110b-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: A/V Remote Control Target (0000110c-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: Advanced Audio Distribu..

pavucontrol does detect the headset in the Output devices tab but not in the Input devices tab. I guess "Handsfree" is the HFP profile. I've seen elsewhere that this profile is not supported by pulseaudio. People say that ofono should be used, but isn't ofono just for letting the computer itself be an HFP device?
Is it that headsets with an HFP (Handsfree) profile but no HSP (Headset) profile are currently not supported by pulseaudio?
Is there anything to be done?
