Former custom ROM developer here who has reviewed and integrated valdikSS modification.

It’s not a bug that the patchset is doing, but enables dual-channel SBC to be negotiated in the source and sink connection. This enables the higher bit-rate without exceeding the maximum bitpool both Android and BT receiver impose.

There’s still negotiation occurs between the source and sink and if either one of them doesn’t support dual-channel SBc, it’ll fallback to whatever its supported. All the device that i had maintained supports it, while some cheap speaker that i test at that time doesn’t and able to negotiate joint stereo session.

Right, it’s more of a configuration that is being changed. But my point was that this is all above the HCI layer, so at the end of the day it’s related to the specific host-stack implementation and not to do with Bluetooth in general.

I guess I’m basically saying the title should be changed

I’m so glad Bluetooth SIG charges $10,000 per model of Bluetooth device sold just to prevent any interoperability issues!
No one owns the airwaves. If you don't want to pay the SIG fees, simply do not use their logo or name.
well yeah but then how do you communicate to your customers that your device interoperates with Bluetooth?
