Hello,
Currently the fdk-aac[0] package is in non-free.
That package would be needed by both pulseaudio (via gstreamer) and
pipewire to provide AAC support for bluetooth headsets and speakers.
After some discussion with people on #debian-gnome, it looks like that
the licence of the package might actually be free after all.
Both the GNU project[1] and Fedora[2] are considering it Free.
Could you please have a look at this an maybe move the package to main?
Could anybody of the multimedia team have a look at this?
I would be really interested to see AAC support in
pulseaudio/pipewire for bluetooth devices
Note that this would remove the need of src:gst-plugins-bad1.0-contrib
that is currently waiting in the NEW queue.
Kind Regards,
Laurent Bigonville
