I thought it was not free either. Common confusion. MP3 decoders are free and open source but patent encumbered in some regions and hence included in the "free" repository of RPM Fusion https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Software_Patents The non-free repository of RPM Fusion has proprietary (in terms of copyright licensing) software packages.

The latest update from rpmfusion of ffmpeg dropped support for libfaac.
the changelog mentions it * Thu Oct 22 2009 Dominik Mierzejewski <rpm at greysector.net> - 0.5-3 - dropped workaround for non-standard openjpeg headers location - Add BR dirac vdpau. (kwizart) - Don't build faac by default because it's nonfree. (kwizart) - fixed PowerPC builds (bug 808) Do we have an alternative? What's the point? I see that ffmpeg still supports mp3. I thought it was not free either. Andrea -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@...

I don't know if you "work" in rpmfusion, but unless they add a ffmpeg-nonfree package, it becomes totally useless, forcing the users (who have already agreed to use nonfree software) to move to yet an other rpm repository with countless dependency issues. I hope that recompiling the srpm will not be a week-job, I'm going to try now. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@...

I am a Fedora contributor and not a RPM Fusion contributor but you can find some discussions at http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2009-October/006221.html Rahul -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@...

I suggest doing both. Fedora-list isn't a place you can guarantee results.
