The problem is that the third-party repository was previously shipping a
different codec, the built-in one from FFmpeg, as the default, with nicer
licensing and better FFmpeg integration. Now they'll have to deal with fdk-aac
just because Fedora decided to ship a crippled version of it. And they'll have
to do an fdk-aac-freeworld override without a real need for it.

And the other problem is that the decoder Fedora is going to ship silently
produces wrong sound for some input files! That fits my definition of a broken
decoder exactly.

So you would be happy to ship something the FSF considers non-free?
