How to play MP3 at all (with any gstreamer player: Rhythmbox, Banshee, BMP, XMMS .... )? I knew mp3 is not opensource, but SUSE PAIED TO LET USE USE for-fee software before (SUSE paied to let Chinese SuSE use founder software's for-fee Chinese fonts), why not just do it again, as mp3 license is not expensive (as last time I read some article about it). I don't understand, why suse is removing all these IMPORTANT non-opensource components step-by-step? (e.g. recent SuSE 10.2 removed Founder's commercial Chinese font collection when they were there in SuSE 10.1, these commercial Chinese fonts are very important for desktop office use. SuSE removed default mp3 support since 9.3 etc). How much money does it require to buy a license for enable mp3 support in SuSE? I want to pay my share to get it done. I just cannot stand it, I am getting mad of it! why is it so damned difficult to play mp3 (for NORMAL user with a MUSIC MANAGEMENT software). If someone calls a user-sponsered license for enabling mp3 in gstreamer I'll pay my share!
For GStreamer you might be interested in the 'commercial' plugin by fluendo http://www.fluendo.com/press/releases/PR-2007-01.html That works qiuet well. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
