I think Stefano is asking for two different things.  The primary one
appears to be for a nonfree pulseaudio-module-bluetooth alternative
package that supports a variety of non-free codecs, and he filed an
RFP for that.

That said,

libldac passed RedHat legal review
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1671064

and is in sid, and I would have liked to propose that we build
pulseaudio with libldac support (and not AptX and other
patent-encumbered Qualcomm technologies), but then I read that libldac
allegedly has a license that in incompatible with pulseaudio's?!

  
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/227#note_550634

If that's the case, how can both pulseaudio and libldac be in main?

If it's not the case, then I think this bug should be retitled and
focused as a wishlist bug to build pulseaudio-module-bluetooth (in
main) with support for LDAC via libldac.

Thanks,
Nicholas

I'm not sure what you are proposing. If you want these modules to be
packaged, please help with getting #794692 resolved and then file a RFP for
the modules.

Dear Maintainer,

it would be nice to have non-free alternative package for A2DP codecs for
modern true wireless earbuds supporte codecs with the packaging of[1].
