Re: A2DP multiple sink support

Hi Marcel,

             Thank you so much for the prompt reply. The following are
the conclusions made from your reply.
1. It is possible to support multiple sources and multiple sinks in A2DP context
2. There can be 2 separate streams of audio between 2 sets of sources and sinks
3. However there might be bandwidth issues and other paging related issues

However I did not get the last point mentioned in your mail i.e. "So
expect some cracks in the audio until both connections are setup
properly".....

Could you please elaborate on this.

Once again, thanks for your time...

Warm Regards,
Anil
