Bug Description

There is a project which enables these codecs in pulseaudio (by adding profiles for these): https://github.com/EHfive/pulseaudio-modules-bt

For LDAC (codec) it uses libldac from the AOSP project: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/libldac

There is a libldac dispatcher by the same author: https://github.com/EHfive/ldacBT

It would be nice to have this functionality out-of-the-box in Ubuntu. This cannot be merged to PulseAudio upstream because the Android libldac library is under Apache License 2.0 which is incompatible with pulseaudio license LGPL 2.1:
