Sounds great. Is there any meaning to Linux computers that don’t support aptX? Also I am wondering how it is posssible to include the aptX codec since its license term is against GPL?
- blowermotorhose 9y agoThere will be if pulseaudio starts using it to encode. The decoder and encoder in the codebase are both LGPL licensed.
- mappu 9y agoThe aptX reference implementation is not GPL. But FFmpeg have a clean-room implementation, based on the (expired) EP0398973B1 patent and from reverse-engineering the binary library.

The decoder was simply deduced from the encoder. https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/5879/ https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/5879/ > Aptx support for linux with FFMpeg and bluez-alsa https://github.com/Samt43/BluetoothAPTXForLinux https://github.com/Samt43/BluetoothAPTXForLinux https://github.com/Arkq/bluez-alsa/issues/92 https://github.com/Arkq/bluez-alsa/issues/92
