Could we get custom gstreamer plugins for Maemo that add support for all ffmpeg-supported codecs?
Note that the dsp stuff gets moody at times (on my prerelease firmware). On several occasions I had "format not supported" on files that previously played back perfectly. A reboot later, they were ok again.
