Debian contains no MP3 encoders due to patent issues,
       

Not even in non-us?
     

The patent is not US-specific.
   

OK, so perhaps one would need another section for countries where
software patents are not protected.
 

Actually I located the correct libs on the site below and they are FSF 
copyrighted according to the files themselves. I have to assume the 
actual code is not pirated at this point as they are being distributed 
with the FSF disclaimer included.

That aside I have compiled and installed them and tried to compile the 
cvs from mplayer using mplayer-update ( this is distributed as a .deb 
file by the author and is GPL copyrighted)
I am still getting the error message indicated in the output snippet below.

The experiences of  anyone who has been successful in getting this or 
something similar to compile are VERY welcome. I do not very often have 
to venture outside of debian to meet my needs and this is well outside 
my range of experienc.
Thanks!
