JD:

There might be two issues that prevent this:

1.  Licensing type conflicts.
2.  Patents.

Both are ugly and a real pain, but they are there.

(BTW, this is why Wine does not ship with libmpg123 nor do most Linux 
distributions.)

However, I like the idea of including this type of 'stuff' as long as 
the list does not get way too long (filling a DVD by itself could be 
very easy.)
