opencore amrnb and amrwb opensource support

Hi,

Since the CVS version of ffmpeg 29426 that you can find http://archives.free.net.ph/message/200 ... 59.es.html they remove the amrnb and amrwb support with the propietary license and add an opensource implementation based in opencore-amr project hosted in http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/develop.

In this way VLC is possible distribute the Application with amr license restriction.

Do you have any plan to support this codecs?
If I compile the latest version of ffmpeg with opencore-amr functionally, VLC works transparently with this files?

Well, I think this is LGPLv3, no?

The opencore-amr is an opensource project with Apache License v.2

The ffmpeg compiled with the --enable-libopencore-amrnb and --enable-libopencore-amrwb must to include the --enable-version3 to allow license compatibility between Apache license v2 and LGPL v3
