Bug#449387: libavcodec-dev: Please build ffmpeg against libfaad-dev

[Elimar Riesebieter]

Package: libavcodec-dev
Version: 0.cvs20070307-6
Severity: wishlist

I've compiled ffmpeg with --enable-libfaadbin --enable-libfaad and
libfaad-dev added to BuildDepend. The new
/usr/lib/libavcodec.so.1d.51.38.0 depends on libfaad.so.0.
Musicplayers which are build against libavcodec-dev, like my package
moc [0], will thus have support to play aac and friends.

It should _NOT_ be a licence nor a patent rediction to use GPLed
libfaad in main packages as libfaad itself resides in main, though.

Please provide ffmpeg libfaad enabled.

Thanks
Elimar
