One of the missing part is bluez API for selecting / switching A2DP
codec. Without it, it is not possible to implement stable selection of
A2DP codec in pulseaudio.

I sent remainder email about this problem to linux-bluetooth ML:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg78127.html

This is reason why I paused my work from summer for bringing Modular
codec API into pulseaudio. As all future work will depends on how that
new bluez dbus API would look like. Otherwise I would have finished my
Modular codec API... https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/46058/

Luiz proposed, that bluez could device's MediaEndpoint1 with
SelectConfiguration for every supported codec by remote device and
pulseaudio then could choose which one want. See:
