In some countries software patents do not exists at all. Anyway, if there would be support for other audio codec I guess pulseaudio would just use another (system) library for encoding. And would not implement encoder/decoder itself. Therefore I think patent/license question would be moved to (system) library for encoding (ffmpeg?, gstreamer?, etc...). Now, when you open question about bluetooth A2DP codecs, more interested would be state of APT-X codec/support. -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
