What exactly needs to be recompiled and why? :confused:

P.S. I'm no lawyer, but I think MPEG is allowed by Fraunhoffer (sp?) to be encoded/decoded for non-commercial use. I personally welcome OGG support. While it's true that MPEG is more common, it's surely not on merit alone! And Wikipedia is a good enough source (better than nothing, at least) of OGG files (honestly, I don't think I have very many MPEGs, if any, because there isn't a lot of free content out there). Some Linux distros don't provide MPEG playing out-of-the-box due to patent fears, others don't do it out of principle, and still others boast about including "all" media codecs (which is a bit worrisome, even for me, a person who isn't very digital-media-oriented). In short, it's kinda hard to police a world this big, but at the same time, still probably not wise to run rampant either. But I think DUGL is okay either way (although I prefer this one, at least in theory).
