These additional A2DP profiles are provided by the patched pulseaudio-
modules-bt available here: https://github.com/EHfive/pulseaudio-modules-
bt

Regular pulseaudio-module-bluetooth from Groovy has only SBC codec for
A2DP profile (so there's no need to differentiate). However, even when I
use the package from Groovy repositories, the same error happens, but
the message is as listed in the description

pulseaudio: Refused to switch profile to a2dp_sink: Not connected

But instead, with the patched version it has more codecs, so there are
more profiles like a2dp_sink_ldac or a2dp_sink_sbc.

The bluetooth headphones that I am using are Sony WH-1000XM4. These are
supposed to support SBC and LDAC. Especially considering that LDAC is
Sony's "invention".

Side Note:

libldac is build using source code from Android:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/libldac/

There is a PPA that provides binaries (libldac and patched pulseaudio-
modules-bt): https://launchpad.net/~berglh/+archive/ubuntu/pulseaudio-
a2dp

I think it would be nice to have these in Ubuntu repositories as well...
