Comment 28 for bug 197957

Hey Mike,

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the package maintainer's views, just that that's why a52 support isn't enabled by default. The technology is there, it's just not enabled. That wasn't my decision and Ubuntu probably will not deviate from Debian's packaging guidelines in this situation because of the risk of a lawsuit.

As for the license, yes, I've already be in touch with Dolby Labs. We've worked out a solution in the case of Avaneya.

Regarding LPCM, as I understand it, it's the same as PCM. LPCM just stands for linear pulse code modulation, e.g. raw uncompressed audio.
