That's exactly why Pali has been working in getting these features developed and the necessary APIs implemented, cleaned up properly and upstreamed to bluez/pulseaudio/etc. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/227#note_522808 and pali writes This merge request does not support ldac codec. And libldac (in Debian or Ubuntu) is irrelevant here as its license is incompatible with pulseaudio. So it cannot be used in pulseaudio for ldac support. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/227#note_550634 If this is true, then ftpmaster would reject an upload of pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-nonfree, because non-free is one thing, while breach-of-license is another.
