faad2 and faac

[Julian Cable]

Hi Fabian. The sourceforge upstream project have also already committed the changes and tagged them but don't know when/if they will do releases. So instead of the patch you could import an upstream vcs tarball. 

I've waited so long to do this I can wait until after the thaw!

If we can agree on a release version number I can put it into the Debian dream package as a >= dependency and when you are ready we can package consistently. That will be a great help to anyone trying to run Dream on Debian and derivatives. 

Thanks for such quick work. 

Julian
