Hi ! There was a discussion on dev mailing list and something was said about it in meeting on september 21st
http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-dev/2011/mageia-dev.2011-09-21-19.07.log.html ("faac status" begining at 19:42:50 ) This concerns faac and packages been built upon it : see bug 2833 These softwares allow to create, encode, or modify media files (.aac, .mp4 or .m4a) that are very frequently used ... These kind of files don't comply wiht free standard (like ogg or matroska ) but we have to work with them .... the same way we can do with .mp3 or .mov and others non free standard when using tainted packages Mageia 2 will come soon and maybe it's time to decide what to do !
