Hello,

multimedia@freebsd.org is MAINTAINER of faad/faac, hence I am asking here.

audio/faac produces .aac files that are not playable with mplayer, nor even=
=20
decodeable with faad. Disabling drm in faac makes it playable with mplayer,=
=20
but still not decodeable with faad unless drm is disabled in faad too.

Both ports have explicitly enabled drm by a CONFIGURE_ARGS addition.

With DRM they won't play/decode with:

Error: Bitstream value not allowed by specification

Is there some reason why the ports have drm enabled? Given that it's not=20
tunable, would it not be a better default to not have it enabled? Under wha=
t=20
circumstances does anyone really want the drm stuff anyway?

=2D-=20
