[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH 1/4] A2DP api with multi-codec support

I don't want to debate too much about naming. In this state, we should pay attention to codes function.

Broken codes and useless codes could be cleaned up after this patches set applied.

If someone want to add another codec,  he/she can just modify "a2dp-codeces.h" or others.

Because all vendor codecs share the single codec-id: 0xFF, which is at
the same level with SBC or AAC.

How do you know? Have you try this patches set ?

Whatever, It works fine for me.
