Why do you think that would be a better solution than putting it into
tainted (where it belongs for dependencies) and marking tainted as being
for ALL tainted packages (regardless if free or nonfree)?
Putting tainted packages in nonfree just causes more confusion IMHO.

Which would mean other packages like gstreamer will have reduced
capability.

I'm starting to wonder if my hope of helping towards making Mageia an even
better multimedia (audio/video) distro than Mandriva is, is unrealistic.
