codec support

[Mathieu Charron]

well... lets get back on topic ;)

Since w32codec is grey, is there a alternative? like free mp3, mp4, divx,
xvid, aac, aac+, wav pcm, mp2, and other?
I know that ogg is open source (or something) but what about the other?

It's pretty much hopeless for the wma and wmv.

That could be a interesting thing to use insteed of the w32codec
