SoundSourceCoreAudio: Unmaintained due to lack of macOS contributors. Already requires an API adapter since the last refactoring.

SoundSourceMediaFoundation: Unmaintained due to lack of Windows contributors and buggy (https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1899242)

SoundSourceMP3: Based on abandoned libraries libid3tag and libmad.

SoundSourceM4A: Based on abandoned (libmp4v2) and almost abandoned (libfaad2) libraries. Already requires an ugly workaround.

SoundSourceSndfile: Is well maintained, has a simple API and is already used as a fallback. Currently the primary SoundSource for AIFF and WAV. No offset issues expected when switching to FFmpeg.

SoundSourceWv: Minor maintenance burden, but otherwise does not hurt. The API is simple enough to keep it.

SoundSourceFLAC/SoundSourceOggVorbis/SoundSourceOpus: Cannot be replaced by FFmpeg!!
