If it's really about patents, while I'm not sure exactly which one was the
problem, Wikipedia says that all of MPEG1, MPEG2 and MP3 patents have already
expired, some relatively recently.

Some other sources, just in case:

>Some weeks ago, we updated our website with information about the end of the mp3 licensing program by Technicolor and Fraunhofer.
>The licensing program coming to an end is due to the fact that the last patent included in the program expired.

>This is the list of patents (Attachm​​ent 1) covered by the MPEG-2 Patent Portfolio License as of October 1, 2018.  Under the MPEG-2 Patent Portfolio License, royalties are payable for products manufactured or sold in countries with an active MPEG-2 Patent Portfolio Patent at the time of manufacture or sale.  Please note that the last US patent expired February 13, 2018, and patents remain active in Philippines and Malaysia after that date.

Might it be possible to implement the functions now?
