Hello,

multimedia@freebsd.org is MAINTAINER of faad/faac, hence I am asking here.

audio/faac produces .aac files that are not playable with mplayer, nor even 
decodeable with faad. Disabling drm in faac makes it playable with mplayer, 
but still not decodeable with faad unless drm is disabled in faad too.

Both ports have explicitly enabled drm by a CONFIGURE_ARGS addition.

With DRM they won't play/decode with:

Error: Bitstream value not allowed by specification

Is there some reason why the ports have drm enabled? Given that it's not 
tunable, would it not be a better default to not have it enabled? Under what 
circumstances does anyone really want the drm stuff anyway?
