It would be nice if this can be in the main distribution but although all the patents have apparently expired in Europe, I'm lead to believe that there is one left in USA that expires at the end of this year.

This is the last existing US patent that expires in December: https://www.google.com/patents/US5703999
Sorry, I don't understand. Does that concern mpg123 or mad? Should I wait for legal or just update it on packman for the time being?
The final decision is up to legal but I did a bit more research and the last patent is for encoders ie.libmp3lame. In fact mpeg2 video format will be patent free middle of next year. If this passes legal then libmad should be ok as well.
The various audio modules (e.g pulse) could probably take a Supplements - to ensure they get auto-installed when appropriate
I would also say that openal should be cool enough for its own subpackage
