I think including in precise-backports would be a good start in helping the adoption of this excellent and important codec for users and especially developers and AV professionals. Firefox 15 and above includes native playback of the codec and Chromium/Google Chrome will support it in an upcoming release.
It is also the audio codec in the WebRTC standard and it can't hurt having it available in backports just in case an app wants to use it. Precise is supported for 5 years and it is imperative that we don't slow down its adoption as a potential Vorbis replacement. Heck, you could even import the packages and sources from https://launchpad.net/~opus-developers/+archive/stable into precise- backports and call it a day. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1099003 Title: VLC 2.0.5 won't work with Opus.
