  • libopenaptx

    Open Source implementation of Audio Processing Technology codec (aptX)

    • Background: I use Tumbleweed for audio recording/production among other general use cases. This lead me to manually switch to pipewire before it was made the default recently. During my research before making the switch I learned that the pipewire packaged in openSUSE does not support aptx and AAC bluetooth codecs because dependencies libopenaptx (https://github.com/pali/libopenaptx) and fdk-aac (https://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac) are missing. I believe LDAC support works despite it sometimes being referred to as "nonfree" due to libldac being packaged with openSUSE, but I have not confirmed this. Support for aptx is important to me so I installed the version from packman which is compiled with support for these codecs. However, this got me wondering if it is possible to provide aptx and AAC in openSUSE without needing to install it through packman.

  • fdk-aac

    A standalone library of the Fraunhofer FDK AAC code from Android.
