MythTV itself does no fancy audio decoding, but the ffmpeg
library we use for video and audio decoding can do all kinds
of different decoding depending on compile time flags. What
compile time flags are used by MythTV distributions is not
under our control, so I wouldn't want to sign a license that
requires us to control them. Nor is there any legal entity
to sign this agreement on behalf of MythTV.

Just use some other icons...
