This looks like an another license problem. This Sony's LDAC encoder
library is licensed under Apache License Version 2.0 which is not
compatible with above LGPL 2.1.

IIRC Apache License Version 2.0 can be used in GPLv3 projects, so
without relicensing pulseaudio to (L)GPLv3 this looks like a problem.
