@cjoseph: went through the design-guide mentioned and found the config-template on pages 61-62. Problem is: the setup in the DG is using SVP and not standard QoS (WMM). As mentioned in my original post SVP is not an option for the customer, they want to use standard QoS (WMM). The standard QoS-approach in Polycom's whitepaper mentioned in my initial post isn't working though - at least not an Aruba. On big C's APs it does. :-/
BTW this is how it's done on big C's APs if this is of interest to anybody else:

This seems to be pretty straight forward.
Besides the usual chit-chat they
* assign channel 11 in the 2.4GHz band and use DFS for channel assignment in the 5GHz band
* match ingres and outgres traffic to DSCP cs5 and ef and set the corresponding COS-flags to 4 and 6
* configure the CAC transmit opportunites for wired and wireless for voice to 1504 and for video to 3008 for the corresponding QOS-classes
So far so good.
Now there's only one question left: how can I accomplish something this simple, yet sophisticated on an Aruba infrastructure without messing up the wrong of those gazillion options in the profiles and GUI-menus... ;)
Any hints, suggestions and/or help on this would, of course, be highly appreciated. :)
I'll keep you posted on any further progress I may make.
Thanks for reading and kind regards,
Mike
