Good old Bluetooth SIG are still chugging on towards Auracast implementation. I haven’t downloaded the “best practices” document but what I did learn from the link below is that public Auracasts will be required to support “standard quality” broadcast audio. That’s there for our benefit because hearing aids may not have the bandwidth required for higher quality broadcast.
As identified by the use of Auracast Trademarks in the Brand Guide for Bluetooth Trademarks [8], for all transmitters, the product must be configurable by the end user to broadcast a Standard Quality Public Broadcast Audio stream. Additionally, if the transmitter is marketed for use within a public location (where “public location” means any public, private, or commercial venue, building, means of transport, or open space), the product’s default setting when configuring the product to transmit an Auracast™ broadcast must be to broadcast a Standard Quality Public Broadcast Audio stream.
