[MPlayer-users] M player for linux will support lossless format mp3HD?

Could open new FFmpeg ticket to support lossless mp3hd too? Or edit
the mp3pro FFmpeg ticket #2372 to include both, mp3pro and mp3hd?

>>> file size. The additional data needed to create a lossless mp3HD file
>>> from the standard mp3 component is automatically calculated from the
>>> chosen mp3 bit rate. No special mp3HD settings are necessary.
>>>
>>> Lossless format: Audio quality is equivalent to a CD (100% bit exact
>>> copy). The file size of an mp3HD song is approximately half of a CD
>>> track.
>>>
>>> Future Proof: Mp3HD as it is bit exact to a CD can be considered an
>>> archival copy, which is future proof.
>>>
>>> Compatibility: Mp3HD files are backward compatible and can be played
>>> on every mp3 devices
>>>
>>> Multiple usage: Same as mp3, with more benefits: archival format,
>>> sound preservation and ultimate quality experience
>>>
>>> Convenience: Use the same ID3 metadata as mp3 embedded track – album,
>>> artist, track, song, genre, etc.
