ldac server support via pipewire

[jenzd]

I think the LDAC encoder is Open Source and included in Debian but the decoder is still proprietary. You wouldn't need Pipewire since we may be able to just add encoder lib it to our Bluetooth package.

I'll add to the TODO list.

Thanks for considering it.

LDAC bluetooth transmission (encode only) should actually be working out of the box since version 8.3.3 of Moode. LDAC support was already built into the supplied bluez-alsa package since Moode 8.3.0, but not activated in the configuration file of the service /etc/systemd/system/bluealsa.service. With version 8.3.3 the necessary switch "-c ldac" was added here (together with activation switches for aptX and aptX-HD):

Code:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/bluealsa -p a2dp-source -p a2dp-sink -c aptx -c aptx-hd -c ldac

You can easily check which codecs are available and which one was actually selected for a connected device with the commands:

Code:

# check which codecs are available
bluealsa-cli status

# check which codec was selected for the connected bluetooth device
bluealsa-cli --verbose list-pcms

Just give it a try.

Best regards
