Ah, I found clarification from pali here
About LDAC in pulseaudio, there is open question about
licensing. LGPLv2 is not compatible with Apache License under
which is LDAC encoder released. Until this issue is resolved I
guess that LDAC codec support would not appear in distributed
version of pulseaudio.

and a possible workaround
GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ code can be (optionally) upgraded to GPLv3 and
Apache License, under which is LDAC, is compatible with GPLv3. I’m
not lawyer but maybe some build option “–compile-as-gplv3” could
generate GPLv3 binary of pulseaudio and then it could use LDAC
encoder.
