There have been a lot of problems, mostly due to patents, but in this particular case... > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588104 ... patch proposed but the review dragged until very close to the freeze, and no maintainer activity since (possibly related to the freeze?). At this point, given the freeze and low severity of the bug the fix will not make it into wheezy anyway and an upload to unstable would interfere in case fixes for bugs in wheezy need to be uploaded. The only chance to get this fixed before the release would be an upload to experimental, if the Maintainer has the time and interest. In my opinion this is not related to multimedia, just the general lack of manpower. I suggest you follow up to the bug with a kind reminder shortly after the release.
