I'm looking this thread from the beginning. It looks like that Fluendo is food only for GStreamer implemented which could be used in other applications, as well. So if you buy codec from Fluendo then you could use it via GStreamer in other applications.
Negative side is that there are existing software VNC and mplayer, which has larger format supporting base, but for some codecs either they do not have licence or they can be used only with that particular application they (codecs) are designed to. Is this final conclusion of this large thread?
