I don't understand this. How would you link against something if it is not
avilable? There should be a configure check to see if it's available or
not.

This should be easy to fix. Just tell David Faure or Stephan Kulow.

configure should be able to check this, right?

I think most Linux users know about the DeCSS issue, so they would
understand that we can't ship it. Would be nice if it worked if DeCSS is

I will have a look if I can get it to work on Solaris. Only mp3 and mpeg
video tho (no DVD available).

It really should be in CVS!
