Fedora

https://github.com/EHfive/pulseaudio-modules-bt/issues/68#issue-476430537

Note: on Fedora 30 and above, the package supports LDAC and AAC (via fdk-aac-free). Due to licensing restrictions, it doesn't support fdk-aac found in the nonfree RPMFusion repos - you have to create your own build for that.

Enable the RPMFusion (free) repository. Then install the package and restart Pulseaudio:

sudo dnf install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld --allowerasing

pulseaudio -k

On Fedora Silverblue (rpm-ostree):

rpm-ostree override remove pulseaudio-module-bluetooth -–install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld
