See this thread:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2018-July/030198.html

Basically there is a patch for aptX support, but that one just replace
SBC by aptX. So need to decide which codec to support at compile time.

This is current limitation of bluez - linux bluetooth daemon - which
does not support codec switching.

See also this thread:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2018-July/030253.html

So until bluez is extended to support switching and configuring A2DP
codec, there would not be support for any other codec then SBC.
