I would hold the creation/upload of this package.

After an easy check of the code (trivial) it is obvious it uses a
decoder to transform the mp3 streams to ogg.

Since the Thompson/Fraunhoffer guys have just modified the licensing
terms, it is possible that Debian will remove, as RedHat has already
done, the mp3 decoders from the distribution.

Check the thread from 

http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/debian-legal-200208/msg00376.html

or the debian-legal list itself.
