gollark: Most open source projects are probably running Linux-based build servers and development environments.
gollark: `youtube-dl -x` then.
gollark: Opus is a better codec in almost every way, though.
gollark: You can use that then run it through `ffmpeg` to get an MP3, if you need *mp3*.
gollark: Do you need mp3 specifically or audio generally?
