I can highly recommend the Fluendo plug-ins, if you want to stay on the
legal side (which is a requirement for the computers I use for work).

Fluendo are heavily involved in gstreamer, and they provide gstreamer
modules to playback formats which are patented.  It costs a little bit,
but the cost isn't that bad.  And renewals are even more affordable.

For my part, to support their open source work on the gstreamer core, I
don't mind paying a little bit.
