I understood that they need to deal with new codec inclusion, via GStreamer o other libs, and that writing code and manage a community is not a simple task.
Said that, IMHO there are three big question with bluetooth and PulseAudio: 1. in these days we (probably most of us) are always on web conferencing and we need good audio quality in both direction, mic and speaker. Current bluetooth headsets are capable of using Bluetooth Profile HFP 1.6 with mSBC 16kHz audio encoding, this standard permit high quality voice conferencing and It was made in 2011...9 year ago. 2. Bluetooth Profile A2DP for listening only (music...) There are a lot of codec for high quality listen audio, es. SBC-XQ, aptX-LL, aptX-HD, aptX Voice and FastStream 3. Support for new version of Bluetooth / Profile. Ex #1 BT 5.3 with LC3 (Low Complexity Communications Coded (LC3)) codec. Ex #2 BT Profile HFP 1.8 with codec selection and Enhanced Voice Recognition Activation.
