Praise be to the heavens - we can finally have Bluetooth headphones that don't revert to low-bitrate mono if the microphone is active.

Edit: on second read, I'm not so sure LE Audio will address this issue.
"Multi-Stream Audio will enable the transmission of multiple, independent, synchronized audio streams between an audio source device, such as a smartphone, and one or more audio sink devices."
This sounds like it's referring to stereo or other multichannel audio, not bidirectional. Hopefully I'm wrong.
The current issue is that headsets only support a single stream and A2DP isn't bidirectional, so the connection has to revert to the low-fidelity Headset Profile. Multistream means that each stereo channel and the microphone should operate fully independently. If this doesn't fix the issue, then it'll be a spectacularly boneheaded error, even by the standards of the Bluetooth SIG.
