[PLUGIN-MOVE] musepackdec from -bad to -good
Last modified: 2018-05-04 11:12:32 UTC
Right now gstmusepackdec is in -bad. However, as far as I can tell, the source is fairly clean. There are no licensing issues with the plugin itself; libmpcdec, its only dependency, is LGPL and no patent claims have been made against it. I've tested it against a few hundred Musepack files from various sources, as well as ones I've encoded myself, and as far as I can tell it works (opening, pause/unpause, seeking), and its metadata format is APEv2 tags which are already in -good.
Whoops, and by "LGPL" I mean "3 clause BSD"; the plugin is under the LGPL.
According to bug 332390, it is not quite as ready as you think... :)
That bug was not related to musepackdec :P
Read http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/docs/random/moving-plugins That is the procedure to move plugins to good or ugly.
Random note: musepackdec needs streaming support.
Considering this bug has seen no activity in 10 years and the plugin itself has seen virtually no commits since the port to 1.0, I'm closing this. There is also a decision to be made regarding marking this plugin as unmaintained in #774508
