There is still a problem : how would you enable specific synchronous
connection settings (max bandwith, latency, ...) ? And which one would
you choose.

Another way to reduce bandwith (at the price of some latency and some
computation) is to use mSBC, with less bandwith and a better quality
(msbc encode 240 bytes to 60).
I you really want 8 bit sco, then a suggestion in line with my patches
could be to have a dedicated mode: SCO_MODE_PCM8.

So my thinking is to do voice setting right now and sort out CSA2 at some point later. Unless someone can come up with a good way of integrating CSA2 right now and allow a smooth backward compatibility to non CSA2 devices.

I agree that CSA2 is not top priority, but the "mode" options is
designed to make such a transition possible.
