FFmpeg is exactly the kind of application, that in non-pruned configuration (i.e. with codecs like AAC) distributions cannot distribute binaries legally in some countries. E.g. for Fedora, it is in rpmfusion repository and not in the distri

FAAD2 is in non-free repositories; for open source, it presents a problem with distribution outside of freeworld. Neither Opus nor mp3 have this problem. So to maximize compatibility, mp3 is still the best choice, due to the attitude to Opu

TB4 has introduced support for Displayport 1.4, with UHBR, which has finally enough bandwidth to connect two 4k@60 displays per port (i.e. daisy-chain them). If has nothing to do with how many streams are "required support"; it

Yeah, but DSL won't have a problem with speed, and routers having too weak cpu to handle it. GPON does.
