Removing Unix Socket API is first thing to do.
IIRC, Mastiz sent some patches to do that. I'm unsure they would still
apply now.
BlueZ dropped support for unix socket api a few days ago, maybe time has come.

Then to go to one codec per module, some refactoring will be needed
to isolate common tasks accross codecs into codec specific files. That
should help to
roughly define a common API for codecs,

And we could see how to make it easy to support new codecs.

Best regards,
Frédéric
