Bose Flex 2 — AAC codec wedges PipeWire (browser video spinner)

Symptom: With the Bose Flex 2 SoundLink connected over Bluetooth, PipeWire output periodically wedges (running -> error); browser video freezes on the loading spinner. Recurring through 2026-09-14 morning.

Diagnosis path:

  1. wpctl status — sink in error state.
  2. wpctl inspect <node> — check negotiated codec; AAC was the trigger.

Fix (permanent, 2026-09-14): Switch the card profile from AAC to SBC-XQ: profile a2dp-sink-sbc_xq, pinned in ~/.local/state/wireplumber/default-profile.

If it wedges again: check codec via wpctl inspect before restarting pipewire — a fresh wedge on a different codec means a different root cause.
