Package: ffmpeg Severity: wishlist ffmpeg can be configured with support for the AMR codec created by 3GPP and commonly used for recording audio on mobile phones. It would be very useful to be able to transcode such recordings.
The source code that ffmpeg can use to support AMR is available from 3GPP, but the general licence used by 3GPP does not permit source redistribution (i.e. it is not DFSG-free). However, they do appear to be open to requests for broader licences <http://www.3gpp.org/faq/faq_2005_2.htm#A3.1> and it might be worth requesting permission to distribute this source. debian-legal might be of help in formulating such a request.
