Sorry, I don't understand. Does that concern mpg123 or mad? Should I wait for legal or just update it on packman for the time being?

The final decision is up to legal but I did a bit more research and the last patent is for encoders ie.libmp3lame. In fact mpeg2 video format will be patent free middle of next year. If this passes legal then libmad should be ok as well.

The various audio modules (e.g pulse) could probably take a Supplements - to ensure they get auto-installed when appropriate

I would also say that openal should be cool enough for its own subpackage
