Yes that would need a new source package. I'd be happy to have that as part of the packages on https://salsa.debian.org/gstreamer-team and take care of updating that together with new GStreamer releases if someone (Laurent?) wants to prepare an initial package. It's a bit suboptimal that pulseaudio requires fdk. I wonder if this can also be made to work with the ffmpeg AAC encoder or if that doesn't support LATM/LOAS yet. FWIW, pulseaudio will need these changes here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/merge_requests/1793 They're not merged upstream yet and won't be before 1.19 so would have to be included as a patch for now.

Hello, afaict we would need to add a new *source* package in contrib since a source package in main (gst-plugins-bad1.0) cannot build-depend on packages outside main. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.

Bug#978643: Please build with fdk-aac support
Source: gst-plugins-bad1.0 Version: 1.18.2-1 Severity: wishlist Hello, pulseaudio is currently adding support for higher quality codecs (including AAC) for bluetooth headseats[0] and they are using gstreamer for this. The problem is that they are using elements that requires fdk-aac and faac and these are currently packaged as non-free in debian. The quality of the sound of bluetooth devices is currently bad and adding support for AAC encoding will help. What would be the plan to have fdkaac and faac elements enabled? We would have to add a new package that would go in contrib I guess? Would that be acceptable?
