OpenIndiana repository, wouldn't it?
I'm unsure of UK laws in this regard, but would be interested if someone more knowledgeable would provide clarification. I pretty much use Flac and ogg/vorbis myself but it would be nice to have mp3 encoder, video codes, etc. available. I think the free Fluendo mp3 codecs actually sound a bit better than the gstreamer defaults commonly available and they also have for fee video codecs but I think their stuff is limited to decoding. P.S.; Thank you for not top posting :) Seems to be an ever increasing nasty habit these days. -- Ken Gunderson <kgund...@teamcool.net> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
