I believe the approach is to use the GStreamer fallbacks to access
these things from the platform on which we run. I think that is how we
do mp3 playback legally on Mac at least, I imagine the same would
happen for encoding. Under no circumstances should you distribute
legally problematic builds, since we gather money for GNOME via the
Amazon MP3 store that would be seen as profitting from patent
violation and GNOME would be sued into the stone ages.
