Hey Mike,

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the package maintainer's views,
just that that's why a52 support isn't enabled by default. The
technology is there, it's just not enabled. That wasn't my decision and
Ubuntu probably will not deviate from Debian's packaging guidelines in
this situation because of the risk of a lawsuit.

As for the license, yes, I've already be in touch with Dolby Labs. We've
worked out a solution in the case of Avaneya.

Regarding LPCM, as I understand it, it's the same as PCM. LPCM just
stands for linear pulse code modulation, e.g. raw uncompressed audio.
