> native aptX and aptX HD encoder and decoder

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?

The 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.

There will be if pulseaudio starts using it to encode. The decoder and encoder in the codebase are both LGPL licensed.
