   Hi   
   Yes, that's the whole point of the gstreamer changes, again, explained   
   on the Factory and Project Mailing lists about why and the impact....   
   https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/565863-2022-Changes-t   
   -Gstreamer-and-Pipewire-packages-from-Packman   
      
   Nothing to do with libdvdcss2 (which hasn't changed in awhile, I just   
   rebuild the src rpm locally). Don't see why wav to mp3 won't work...   
   mp3 has been free for a long time....
