Im not saying dont add support, in fact i would like to see support just for 
completeness. However i am partial to prefer a linux native one which can be 
used on other archs, such as Super-H and PPC, etc. Still support would be 
good, but i prefer it if people wouldnt encode with it, again im not against 
it in terms of encoding either, i just think it better to encode with codecs 
that ARE better and less troublesom regarding licenses and also other factors 
like support for the decoder.

Still mp3PRO is backward compatible, so u can play them now, just you wont get 
the quality you would with an mp3PRO capable decoder.
