Description Jo Shields 2011-12-06 00:49:55 UTC 
Windows 7 added support for AAC file playback, without needing external codecs - as per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd390676%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

It would be nice to add the appropriate new audio subtypes to dshowdecwrapper, such that GStreamer apps on Windows can play AAC files without the usual codec patent license concerns that go along with redistributing faad.

I second this request. Bump...

Running apps like Banshee across platforms is beneficial to the Linux community.

I would be happy to test any builds with a patch for this bug on Windows7 x86 and x86_64.

Is dshowaudiodec still the prefered plugin for handling audio codecs on windows ?

Aren't those formats supported since ?
