There is optional support for using the Fraunhofer AAC codec (media-libs/fdk-aac) in gst-plugins-bad, which can be enabled at configure time with the meson feature fdkaac. Since we'd like to use this codec with gst-plugins-bad in our infrastructure, I'd be very happy if support for the codec gets added in ::gentoo. Currently we are working with a modified ebuild where I added support for fdkaac using a new USE flag: https://gitlab.fem-net.de/gentoo/fem-overlay/-/blob/bd815e61c233366ce6ca66bfd032dad7bba6ac0b/media-libs/gst-plugins-bad/gst-plugins-bad-1.18.4-r2.ebuild The relevant lines are L18 (IUSE, added flag fdk) L28 (RDEPEND, added conditional dependency on media-libs/fdk-aac) and L64 (conditional configuration using meson_feature). This is everything I added to the ebuild to get support for fdkaac working in our infrastructure. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install media-libs/gst-plugins-bad::gentoo Actual Results: /usr/lib64/gstreamer-1.0/libgstfdkaac.so doesn't exist Expected Results: /usr/lib64/gstreamer-1.0/libgstfdkaac.so should exist
This would have to be a separate media-plugins/gst-plugins-* split package instead. Something like media-plugins/gst-plugins-voamrwbenc serves as an example.
