Comment:

 As-such, this ticket is clearly invalid: FFmpeg without the AAC and
 without the AC3 decoder most likely contains code covered by (many)
 software-patents.

 Do these decoders have any other advantage over the decoders in FFmpeg?
 And how would they fit into the FFmpeg infrastructure? Would they just be
 two more external decoders?
