Which work? Could you please test with both Etch and testing or even
unstable write a report, send to debian-desktop ML -
[EMAIL PROTECTED], pointing to some bugs in or out of
our bug tracking system (if any) ?

ffmpeg is already in for GNOME desktop (gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package
to be exact), support for Xfce and KDE needs some testing, added in my
TODO. Thanks!

It seems that we have no support for FAAC in main yet. Could you point
out a package, set of packages or upstream projects that I should look
for?

In other words you want better font managers for GNOME, KDE or Xfce or
even a different font alias manager as a add-on. It would be helpful
if you start opening wishlist bugs against our preferred desktop
environment asking for the feature and point out for us apps that are
out of these projects officially, but would fill the gap if added.
