As long as we are updating, can the liba2dp be abstracted out of not only the sbc encoding part but also the sending over UART part (as in transport ...) chips are getting smarter and the sbc codecs are moving to either a co-processor/dsp or even inside the BT chip itself, so we might have to send the PCM raw data somewhere else for the dsp to encode to sbc and send it over the air ... currently the data (sbc/pcm) and the control (connection establishment) is too tightly sort of coded in together.. isn't it ? for something like the above to happen our liba2dp had to be almost re-written ...
