Can I make install bluez alsa without breaking moode functionality - mangkook - 09-08-2019
Hi guys.
New user here. Been playing with my new pi zero w and discovering moodeaudio. This is one beautiful and stable piece of audiophile solution. Hats off to dev!
I'm interested in using my pi zero w as a Bluetooth receiver with alternative codec such as aac and ldac or hwa (does hwa exist?) .
I've been looking here and there and it seems distributing aac / ldac is an issue so I have to make one myself.
Question is, can I make install bluez alsa without breaking Moode Bluetooth functionality / UI (which I found works very very well)?
Linux noob here, but I'm willing to learn a thing or two.

Yes. Follow the appropriate section of the build recipe and replace the old binary with the new.

Question
Halfway though recipe I stopped and wonder. Does aac already baked in when I installed moode?
Then I just have to add - - enable aac? Or I have to install libfdk-aac first?
How about ldac?
I just make install ldac according to bluez wiki wiki and add - - enable ldac?
Thanks in advance

Answering to my own question, as I went through with recipe.
No I have to make one myself.
RE: Can I make install bluez alsa without breaking moode functionality - mangkook - 09-10-2019
success in getting AAC. Now I can transmit aac from my phone to my pi zero w albeit limited to 16bit 44.1 (said so in my android phone developer option)
ldac and aptx not successfull. I guess because no support for ldac or aptx sink ? I don't have any bluetooth speaker / iem.
i failed during recipe building so I use moode img and build from there. SO BUILDING AAC SINK WITHOUT BREAKING MOODE IS POSSIBLE
Am I allowed to share my recipe here in case someone want to do the same? (gathered from this forum and somewhere else)

Yes, you can share the recipe.

This is what I did after reading and gathering some info here and somewhere else. mostly just copy paste with some minor editing.
#Enable AAC codec bluez alsa on Moode (sbc still intact and working as failsafe)
#Tested working on both Moode 6.1.0 and 6.2.0 ( Not sure if something breaks after OTA update)
#Tested on Pi Zero W. Build took around 80-90 minute
##Logon to ssh pi@moode.local password: moodeaudio
# fdk aac
Code:
cd /tmp
sudo git clone https://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac.git
cd fdk-aac
sudo ./autogen.sh
sudo ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
cd ..# bluez alsa
Code:
sudo git clone https://github.com/Arkq/bluez-alsa.git
cd bluez-alsa
sudo autoreconf --install
sudo mkdir build
cd build
sudo ../configure --disable-hcitop --enable-aac --with-alsaplugindir=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/alsa-lib
sudo make
sudo make install
cd ~
rm -rf /tmp/fdk-aac
rm -rf /tmp/bluez-alsa
sudo reboothope it works for someone looking to stream aac BT to Moode as it works for me with my phone (Samsung A7 Oreo, Nexus 5 Resurrection Remix Oreo)
