We could do this, but it's a huge boilerplate PITA to load all the symbols at runtime. It's probably nice in the long run, though. Probably worth a bug, this is something I can see myself doing on a particularly rainy Sunday afternoon (Dutch weather...). > Or it is possible to provide soundsourcem4a as separate binary? I'm fairly sure I've seen soundsourcem4a debs somewhere but I can't seem to find build files for it. It is possible, of course, as long as we have someone willing to 1) build it and 2) distribute it. > How is this issue solved in gstreamer? Dynamic loading of the proper libraries, and parties willing to build and distribute binaries that could potentially run afoul of copyrights or patents in the US and potentially other jurisdictions. -Bill On Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 4:59 PM, Daniel Schürmann <dasch...@mixxx.org> wrote: > Convert from one lossy format to an other is not a good idea. > I Think you have to compile it yourselves for m4a and mp4 support. > http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/compiling_on_linux > > ----------- > > I hope someone else can explain details and why it is not enabled by > default. > I think for the many users it is a bug issue and they are not able to > compile Mixx from source. > > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAAC > When I understand this correct, its up to the user to decide if its allowed > to install the libfaad in his country. > > So why not link soundsourcem4a always to Mixxx and try to load libfaad at > runtime? > Or it is possible to provide soundsourcem4a as separate binary? > How is this issue solved in gstreamer? > > I think for most users it is hard to understand why Banshee or rhythmbox are > able to play nearly all audio formats but Mixxx not. > I have already filed a bug for this: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/998907 > > > > > 2012/6/7 Steve M <fezzys...@gmail.com> >> >> Mp4 and some are M4a.
