Wine packagers and developers, do you have any thoughts or objections to depending on FFmpeg/libav's libavutils and libavcodec for xaudio2 support?
The FFmpeg web-site says FFmpeg may be found in both GPL and LGPL forms:
" FFmpeg is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.html or later. However, FFmpeg incorporates several optional parts and optimizations that are covered by the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html or later. If those parts get used the GPL applies to all of FFmpeg."
It seems difficult to say when wine loads it which license applies. I think this is an area where things may not be entirely clear license-wise, but couldn't that pose a problem?
