Like the others, I'm not a fan of software patents - but being
pragmatic, I can see why it's useful.

Out of curiosity, there are still going to be problems with using those
plugins in conjunction with GPL'd plugins (or plugins that use
GPL-licensed libraries) right? e.g. you couldn't use the mad plugin with
any of these.


I think it would also mean what Rhythmbox is GPL-incompatable, which
would mean that we can no longer use anything GPL'd.
