the specific file a2dp-codec.h can be easily licensed under LGPL. Same
as with rth.h. Both file are clearly an oversight on our part. Code that
is shared between PA and BlueZ should be LGPL license. For the SBC
encoder/decoder and IPC parts we have done that right. So yes, we can
just re-license these two header files.

However for the whole audio plugin, no that is GPL only.
