Severity: wishlist

Hello,

pulseaudio is currently adding support for higher quality codecs
(including AAC) for bluetooth headseats[0] and they are using gstreamer
for this.

The problem is that they are using elements that requires fdk-aac and
faac and these are currently packaged as non-free in debian.

The quality of the sound of bluetooth devices is currently bad and
adding support for AAC encoding will help.

What would be the plan to have fdkaac and faac elements enabled? We
would have to add a new package that would go in contrib I guess? Would
that be acceptable?

Kind regards,
Laurent Bigonville
