Has the sound quality improved with the latest patches?

By the way, which floating point version do you have in mind? Is it btsco,
which is referenced from this wiki page: http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/SBC ?

I tried to have a look at btsco, but it seems to be much worse quality wise
than the fixed point version with an updated filtering function. I tried to
encode some audio sample, decode it back and compare result with the
original file in both cases.

Also I compared 32-bit fixed point vs. 16-bit fixed point, and looks like
16-bit fixed point version has a sufficient precision. Anyway, the values,
received from the filter, are quantized later and much more information
about lower order bits is usually lost at this stage.
