Instead, it's code developed by GitHub user pali https://github.com/pali/libopenaptx (Full disclosure: I looked only at the file headers).
I guess if the library is in the general distros it's fair game for us since we would just be linking to it. Bummer that the libopenaptx package has no Debian package maintainer; he backed out over a year ago. I note that pali hasn't touched his repo in 2 years either. The rev in the Debian repo (0.2.0-5) is slightly behind the latest rev in pali's repo (0.2.1). Judging from the comment on the 0.2.1 release, there's been a kerfuffle over who's been doing what with the code. I don't think this affects us since Debian stands between.
As I said before, it's not a feature I'm likely to use, but if you decide to go forward I'm happy to try to test as best I can with the gear at my disposal.

I've reviewed that as well.
I think I'll make a test release so we can see what works and what doesn't.
Isn't there a bluez-alsa command that shows which codec is being used?
