alsa-plugins-a52 with fedora 8?

[Justin]

Hi,

I'm sorry if this is not the right mailing list for this question. I was 
directed here from another list.  I would contact the alsa package 
maintainer directly but I don't know who it is.

I have noticed the alsa package alsa-plugins-a52 seems to be missing in 
at least Fedora 8.  Is this intentional?  Is it possible to get this added?

Thanks,
Justin

I don't know anything, but Martin here maintains alsa-libs and ought to be 
able to help you out.

ask zodbot (or sometimes bugbot) on #fedora-devel on Freenode.  
The maintainer is still Martin Stránský (mstransky).

And of course, the canonical information about the ownership of 
the package is at
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/alsa-lib

Yes
this is intentional as a52 is for AC-3 decoding that  "is
patented" and as such. isn't a desirable item for Fedora.
Actually the alsa-plugins package use the ffmpeg library
implementation.for ac-3 decoding.

ps : It might be possible to have this plugins from a third part repository.
