[Bug 1709166] Re: Refresh Restricted Addons

[Amr Ibrahim]

I would say to also drop gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3.
MP3 decoding is done by the mpg123 plug-in in gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly, which depends on libmpg123-0.
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-ugly-plugins/html/gst-plugins-ugly-plugins-plugin-mpg123.html
I don't know whether Fluendo (the company) still maintains gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 or not. On the other hand, I can see that mpg123 is actively maintained.

Title:
  Refresh Restricted Addons

Status in ubuntu-restricted-addons package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Ubuntu-desktop discussion link - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2017-August/005075.html
  More backstory, addons vs extras used to be universe vs multiverse but that hasn't been true for many releases.  The plan is to drop the -extras package.

  Plan for this package is to change from:
  adobe-flashplugin | flashplugin-installer  (drop)
  chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
  gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 (leave or have more discussion if it's needed with us pulling lame anyway)
  gstreamer1.0-libav
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad (drop)
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly

  To:
  chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
  gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3
  gstreamer1.0-libav
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
  gstreamer1.0-vaapi
