[Bug 281025] audio/musepack: Sunset port?

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281025

--- Comment #1 from Stefan Ehmann <shoesoft@gmx.net> ---
I guess we can live without an encoder in the ports tree, we should still
support decoding.

grep shows the following ports have at least an optional dependency on
audio/musepack:

audio/aqualung
audio/cmus
audio/gstreamer1-plugins-musepack
audio/moc
audio/musicpd
audio/sdl_audiolib
multimedia/qmmp-qt5
multimedia/qmmp-qt6
multimedia/vlc

I've tested musicpd and vlc. Both can play .mpc files without musepack
installed, probably through ffmpeg as you've mentioned.

From my side it's OK to remove the port. I guess we should test if all
mentioned ports support decoding through ffmpeg and/or ask the maintainers if
they object to the removal.
