Hi Pali,
Does it have to be codec switching? If there was to be an implementation
that settles on the best quality codec available that is supported by
both sides of communication, it would already be over and beyond what
currently exists. The order is obvious as of today:
LDAC
AptX HD
AptX
AAC
SBC
BlueZ already follows this logic, it is just that PA does not register
any capabilities other than SBC.
Allowing forced codec selection through the GUI is nice to have, but
given the complexity of implementing it, may not be worth the hassle for
the initial milestone.

Does anybody know what happened after this discussion? Is this long overdue

See this thread:

Basically there is a patch for aptX support, but that one just replace
SBC by aptX. So need to decide which codec to support at compile time.
This is current limitation of bluez - linux bluetooth daemon - which
does not support codec switching.

So until bluez is extended to support switching and configuring A2DP
codec, there would not be support for any other codec then SBC.
