   Thanks, and I have some good news: all the AC-3 patents expired. It's now a   
   free format, just like the MP3. See:   
   https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2017/03/22/another-media-codec-on-the-way/   
   -- and on December 7th, Xvid will likely become free as well (IANAL of course   
   but a simple search with Xvid patent expiration can bring up a Wikimedia   
   page, even with the possibility of getting notified of the event).   
      
   Well, now back to fiddling with my headsets... It kinda feels like the good   
   old winmodem days :/
