Personally I don't have any problem with the proprietary formats support in Chromium (altough I don't like them). But I'm concerning because the things aren't working as expected, the browser should play these formats only when the chromium-ffmpeg from Packman is installed.
As indicated, they won't. By removing those flags, those codecs will no longer be supported. Not even if the ffmpeg package from Packman is installed. I have tested it with the change for the Chromium-dev package and that was the result. They are lost forever.
As you noticed Ciaran (legal), came back and indicated that they should be removed. So all packages will be changed and the codecs will no longer be supported.
While I completely understand the reasoning behind making this change.... speaking as an end user of Chromium... "Aaaargh!" With no codec support... what's the point of building Chromium? This is like building VLC with no codec support. It's nice and all but not really practical for the actual end user. I know it's a Catch-22 (a real can't win situation), but...
