Hi Xingchao,
I think there's a language confusion here. In Bluetooth-speak, the sink 
refers to the receive functionality, i.e. you receive compressed data 
over A2DP and play it locally. What you described is a sink in the 
PulseAudio sense.
Vinod is working on a thin user-space library on top of the kernel API 
for compressed data, we should talk on how this could be used from a 
PulseAudio environment.
Cheers,
