Hi,

Since we now have a proper library for SBC codec
(http://git.kernel.org/?p=bluetooth/sbc.git;a=summary) and its patent
has expired June 2, 2010. (source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SBC_(codec)), I wonder if it wouldn't be
a good idea to move the plugin to gstreamer tree?

The plugin has the following elements:

bluetooth:  sbcenc: Bluetooth SBC encoder
bluetooth:  sbcdec: Bluetooth SBC decoder
bluetooth:  sbcparse: Bluetooth SBC parser
bluetooth:  avdtpsink: Bluetooth AVDTP sink
bluetooth:  a2dpsink: Bluetooth A2DP sink
bluetooth:  rtpsbcpay: RTP packet payloader
