we already have a free-as-in-beer and free-as-in-speech mp3 plugin;
gstreamer-mad.
Sure the above does not apply to the US, but to most of the other 
countries including germany. (as far as I can tell with my wikipedia 
knowledge)

Furthermore I dont know if the fluedo plugin is a adequate replacement 
for mad.
If its not the user would have to istall mad anyway ant it would be not 
a real benefit.
And to even have any benefit fluendo-mp3 has to be shipped on CD...

IMO the only improvement we can make in this case is offering a non-us 
Ubuntu with all the patented stuff included.
