I think this is a typo, and you mean "lessened the pressure to reduce bitrates
and complexity, and has shifted the focus to fidelity and delay instead".

Me too; I'd also like some clarification as to whether we're talking about (a)
existing Bluetooth headsets or (b) future hardware designed to support the
IWAC.  If (b), then this is just a matter of negotiating the acceptable
encode+decode complexity, for eventual implementation by DSP or ASIC.  If (a)
... I'm surprised that such a retrofit is even conceivable.  If it is in fact
possible, I would very much appreciate instructions on how to experiment with
new codecs on existing headsets.  Once we know how to build test rigs, we can
see what the complexity requirement there is.  If we can't test it, I don't
think we can target it.
