I agree wholeheartedly. I don't want to make your job any harder.
I do think it would be a little uncomfortable if some livecd user
did try to play an mp3 and it didn't work.

I agree that the primary focus should be on free, open formats
and software. I disagree that we should hobble software if we
don't have to.

Cheers,
Dave.
