With free licensed code, I don't think that will happen; the core algorithm
is the same.
LC3 is like a subset of LC3plus, but also adds 7.5ms frame duration.
I acknowledged the use of only one Codec Id, because it makes sense to me
to distinguish both as different profiles / feature sets.
Moreover, LC3 and LC3plus declares both the 10ms frame duration. It's
impossible to distinguish such a stream as LC3 or LC3plus.
The main difference between the 2 codecs are licenses:
- LC3 will only be used, and is free to use, over Bluetooth on standard
profile claiming it.
- LC3plus can be used anywhere, but is under license fee.

So it makes sense to me to cover both as LC3.
