Looks to me that the quality is slightly worse than with the initial patches, but it's of course a very subjective assessment since I need to reinstall pulse/gstreamer to check the differences instead of doing an A/B test. Can you check and make sure the payloader doesn't skip/change any bytes? If you dump what is actually sent to the headset and compare to the initial file, you shouldn't have any deltas.
