[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH v9 3/8] bluetooth: Add A2DP FastStream codec support

This patch provides support for FastStream codec in bluetooth A2DP profile.
FastStream codec is bi-directional, which means that support both music
playback and microphone voice at the same time.

FastStream codec is just SBC codec with fixed parameters. For playback are
used following parameters: 48.0kHz or 44.1kHz, Blocks 16, Sub-bands 8,
Joint Stereo, Loudness, Bitpool = 29 (data rate = 212kbps, packet size =
(71+1)*3 <= DM5 = 220, with 3 SBC frames). SBC frame size is 71 bytes, but
padded with one zero byte due to rounding to 72 bytes. For microphone are
used following SBC parameters: 16kHz, Mono, Blocks 16, Sub-bands 8,
Loudness, Bitpool = 32 (data rate = 72kbps, packet size = 72*3 <= DM5 =
220, with 3 SBC frames).

So FastStream codec is slightly equivalent to SBC Low Quality settings
(which uses bitpool value 30). But the main benefit of FastStream codec is
support for microphone voice channel for audio calls. Compared to bluetooth
HSP profile (with CVSD codec), it provides better audio quality for both
playback and recording.
