No problem.  There's some legal & licensing reasons why it doesn't just 
work out of the box, but not problem to enable it.

Same is true for MP3 music, MPEG video in general, WMV video, etc, etc.

See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats

This is pretty much the first page I go to after installing Ubuntu 
somewhere. :)
