I have found that editing /etc/pulse/xpolicy.conf lines 179 to 187
from:

Code:
[device]                                                    
type  = bthsp                                               
sink  = equals:sink.hw1                                     
flags = disable_notify                                      
                                                            
[device]                                                    
type   = bthsp                                              
source = equals:source.hw1                                  
flags  = disable_notify
to:

Code:
[device]                                                    
type  = bthsp                                               
sink  = equals:sink.hw0                                     
flags = disable_notify                                      
                                                            
[device]                                                    
type   = bthsp                                              
source = equals:source.hw0                                  
flags  = disable_notify
Results in ALL audio being rerouted to the speakers (including calls) which is not so useful and further the volume cannot be adjusted on the phone while the headset is connected. There must be a more fine grained way of changing this so that multimedia audio is routed to the speakers because already the ringtone is played through the speaker even when the headset is plugged in.
