Unknown icon on a taskbar: ffdshow audio decoder

[megiston]

Hello,
This is my first posting since purchasing R.M.C. a few days ago.
My question is could somebody explain to me in simple terms what the
small icon on the taskbar that says "ffdshow audio decoder" with a lot of
intricate details represents, and do I need to do any ajustments.
Thank you

ffdshow is a media decoder and encoder mainly used for the fast and high-quality decoding of video in the MPEG-4 ASP (e.g. encoded with DivX, Xvid or FFmpeg MPEG-4) and AVC (H.264) formats, but supporting numerous other video and audio formats as well. It runs on Windows and is implemented as a DirectShow and VFW decoding filter.

- from Wikipedia.. for a clearer explanation.

I just actually let everything there as is and I didn't make any changes/adjustments ever since.
