FFTW only computes fast Fourier transformations (which is one of the analysis
steps done during fingerprinting). It does not do any decoding. In order to be
eligible for Fedora, the actual decoding code would have to be ported to a
decoder library in Fedora (or eligible for Fedora), such as libsndfile or
GStreamer. (FFmpeg is NOT suitable for Fedora because it includes all the
codecs, patent-free and patent-encumbered alike, in one single library. Also be
warned that libsndfile doesn't support patent-encumbered formats at all.
GStreamer with its plugin-based interface is definitely most suitable.
Unfortunately, many upstream projects don't even consider it as a solution for
decoding, which is why we're stuck with so many things with hard FFmpeg
dependencies.)
