You are forgetting a point I've made at the very beginning of this thread, which I think to be very important.
If there is an official forum, you will *NOT* be able to discuss questions like "how do I play encrypted DVDs", "how do I copy DVDs", "how do I install emule", "how can I download MP3s", etc...
Oh its definitely an issue, I actually forgot to make a comment about that one. Take Fedora for example - with those same issues, anyone making a post in regards to those issues is told to seek out a legal page noting all the media materials that pose legal problems, and workarounds (ie: using ogg over mp3).
Now, I think we're also missing something - relicensing. I can't remember the name of the company, but isn't there some effort out there working on relicensing media players (binary only packages once released), with the source still under the GPL? This would negate the issue of legal concerns, though I honestly don't remember whats going on with the company.
This is off-topic ;) but no, forget it, it's void as it's a binary-only driver that cannot be redistributed by distribution makers (I guess you refer to fluendo).
However, I think there are enough resources out there for media-oriented issues, and that (imho) would remain the place for non-official SUSE forums.
But you do know that it's the most frequently asked topic, don't you ? ;)
cheers
