libldac packaging

[Marcos Alano]

libldac is a library made by Sony BUT WITH A PERMISSIVE LICENSE (Apache 2.0) to support LDAC audio compression format, so I think there is no legal problems to package it.
This guy made a dispatcher (https://github.com/EHfive/ldacBT) to support LDAC with Bluetooth devices. So would be nice to package together or not.
The goal here is to have in the main repository, not as PPA, the components to this project: https://github.com/EHfive/pulseaudio-modules-bt
The libldac is the most controversy part, but Fedora Legal thinks it's OK to package.

Hi Jeremy,

Much appreciated if this could be included for 20.04 or earlier. Fedora already packaged it according to this thread:

Seems the bug for this package on Debian was closed, so I hope we can have it on groovy.

can you release an official backport for LTS?

Indeed, it has been automatically synced to Ubuntu Groovy https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libldac
