And information about aptX Low Latency codec: It is just normal aptX
with different A2DP parameters and support for some kind of backchannel.

Therefore existing aptX (non HD) encoder and decoder (like proprietary
Android's, ffmpeg or https://github.com/pali/libopenaptx) are enough for
implementing aptX Low Latency A2DP support.

A2DP structures for aptX Low Latency codec are already described in my
patch, search for a2dp_aptx_ll_t.
