FFmpeg includes codecs for reading and writing. Read and write support is not the same. => In the case of H264, FFMpeg can read natively but needs x264 to write to H264. => The same happens for mp3 : FFmpeg can read natively and not write. Therefore FFmpeg needs liblame. I had a look at the sox package that MLT uses for effect and sound conversion. Well, I was surprised to see several variants: Variants: ffmpeg flac lame mad universal vorbis Sox is the swizz army knife for converting files. What is the interest of Sox for users if people cannot read/write in vorbis or flac or even use FFmpeg with it. This could lead to problems in softwares like MLT or Kdenlive.
