I would like to propose a new package FAAD2 which is
a decoder library for AAC audio codec. This package

https://tyan0.yr32.net/cygwin/x86_64/release/faad2/
Unfortunately, this cannot be included in the Cygwin distribution.
These packages are now GPL and available from Arch, Debian main repo, *BSD
ports, OpenSuSE, Slack, and more, so there may have been issues with
non-relocatable non-PIC assembler code, patents now expired/lapsed/challenged,
VideoLan or alternative commercial licensing, for example no commercial use
restrictions?
Many codecs like these can be installed on Fedora, etc. from RPMfusion,
UnitedRPMs, or other repos.
See e.g.
