This seems to not be possible with the current libfaad-dev package:
configure: *** checking plugin: faad ***
configure: ***
checking for faacDecOpen in -lfaad... no
configure: *** These plugins will not be built: faad
According to
<http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/freshrpms-list/2005-January/012332.html>
this is because faacDecOpen was renamed in libfaad to NeAACDecOpen (which is
present) and source compatibility was maintained by use of a macro. (The SONAME
remains libfaad0 however... *unprintable*) However, the test used by the
GST_CHECK_LIBHEADER autoconf macro does not take this into account.
I tried forcing it to build anyway, but the resulting plugin is not
usable:

It seems gstfaad.c itself defines the faacDecInit symbol as extern!
