Description Peter Lemenkov 2016-11-30 13:26:23 UTC 
Since mad was packaged recently (see bug 1396139), it's possible to add Mp3 decoding back. Please consider reenabling support for Mp3.
Comment 1 Karel Volný 2016-11-30 13:36:44 UTC 
thanks for the heads up

mp3 support should be covered by the mpg123 plugin from qmmp-plugin-pack, however MAD plugin should be enabled too, right

note to myself: don't forget about the mimetypes handling!

Honestly, now I'm not so sure. I wasn't aware of qmmp-plugin-pack package before so I wasn't aware that MP3 is available alreaduy. As fpor MP3 libs here is what I think.

I personally believe that the time for libmad is gone. 12-15 years ago MAD was ahead of mpg123 in terms of accuracy, performance, and features. But since then, MAD development was stalled, while mpg123 one was fully reloaded. Now mpg123 is conforming to MP3 standards, fast, feature-reach, and with active upstream.

If mp3 support is already there then why link against another library with the same functionality?

So if in doubts then just close it as NOTABUG.

to be honest, I don't understand the upstream intentions and I couldn't care less to ask :-) but since the mpg123 plugin is in extra pack, I guess mad plugin in the base package wouldn't do any harm
