Hi,
it appears that between the latest official release 1.9.1 and the "recommended
trunk snapshot" r479 that got packaged in Debian, upstream (for no apparent
reason, if you are asking me) removed the entire metadata API from libmp4v2.
However, some not-yet-ported software like e.g. faac does still rely on this
API and does thus not build against the current package. It seems this is the
same reason why d-m.o still has a version 1.9.1 package in their repository.
However, I think reverting the corresponding upstream SVN commit and thus
adding this API back does not hurt anyone and hereby ask you to do so. The
attached patch is the reverted upstream commit r322 forced to apply to the
current sources.
I've tested your patch and sadly I've got to admit that it fails[1] :-(
Since the patch modifies the upstream source code, I had to re-pack it,
as you can see from the updated name of the package (~dfsg1).
Feel free to help me investigating the issue and maybe solve it ;-)
Cheers.
