I think you'll find that the trouble won't be that it couldn't be done, but getting it shipped (e.g., adding that bloat to the shipping binaries) will be hard to get landed--we tend to favour patches that reduce overall code size. Have you thought about doing JS implementations of the encoders? I know some people have started work like this. Yury and I have discussed this at some length, including *cough* mp3.js *cough*. Prototyping this in js is a good start. Moving it into extensions/addons/etc. a logical next step. Starting by trying to get encoders shipped is going to be tough, I think. Dave
