We cannot comment on specific patents, not now, not ever. Red Hat has

I hope this helps.
To a degree. Could we get a confirmation that the following software
could therefore be added, should a maintainer be so interested:
gst-fluendo-mp3: http://core.fluendo.com/gstreamer/src/gst-fluendo-mp3/
libmad: http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/
Also, for the sake of clarity, what is the status of:
* MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (MP2) encoding (e.g. twolame)?
* MPEG-1 video decoding (e.g. smpeg, which also includes MP3 decoding)?
Oh, and also:
* MPEG-2 video decoding (e.g. libmpeg2)?
