They did talk to each other. I do not know the contract, or the real result,
but was told to me is that it would cost us per-copy royalties.
So the decision was made not to ship it.
And I guess the same discussion would have happend afterwards.
Not sure, but I think we now pull in the fluendo GST plugin for mp3 decoding
via online update...

You consider us stupid?
Thanks, time to unsubscribe...
Frankly I don't understand your reaction.
It seems to me I put some "if" in the sentence, and I was _asking_.
Ah, then I misunderstood.
If there is an associate cost with the distribution, just say that. It
is not written on the Real site. I simply summed up what appear to be
the facts, supported by Real distribution guidelines.

Of course this discussion could have been avoided with a simple notice
when the player was dropped. We should be a community, after all.
