I can't speak for Tim but from my perspective, version 1.5.0 dropped just 3 days ago and we've had no time yet to evaluate it. In principle, bumping to 1.5.0 (and bumping the attendant two libraries as well) is just a matter of changing some build parameters; in practice, assessing the impact on the configuration options will take actual thinking. Can we get it done in time for 7.0, maybe; in time for 7.1, very likely.
Quote:And i just disovered that the Bluetooth SBC codec can pushed to quality levels of aptx HD or even higher. Range is also higher this way. It's called SBC XQ. It seems to work by raising bitpools, changing to dual channel mode and by raising maximum bitrates to 500kBit/s and beyond.
I found bluetooth SBC with moOde quite disappointing and wonder if this is already implemented or if it could be done.
A few sites about this:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/Hyperion/...ree/SBC-XQ
https://github.com/Arkq/bluez-alsa/issues/272
I'm not sure what to think of this. The Sound Expert's comparative tests are exciting but if I'm reading your last link correctly, Arkq has already incorporated the proposed changes for SBC XQ in bluez-alsa as of last December. I haven't had time to absorb the contents of all the links to understand what has to be done (equivalently, what isn't being done) in terms of configuration to enable the XQ "mode".
Just my 2 cents worth.
