If I thought i was cofused as to the repo builds before, well.... >"while debian doesn't use the internal faad"
Taking a look at xine-lib on my karmic and earlier, where aac decoding is enabled by default, it seems you're using the internal faad. (the one included in the xine-lib source If you're not build depending on libfaad, or supplying a static faad than the only other possibility is ffaac, which I don't see. In any event it works fine, tested on a fresh lucid daily, nothing installed but lucid build-deps for libxine-ffmpeg (xine-lib), devscripts and gxine to test. with the 'patched' libxine-ffmpeg installed xine: found input plugin : file input plugin xine: found demuxer plugin: Apple Quicktime (MOV) and MPEG-4 demux plugin ldd -r /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.26/xineplug_decode_faad.so linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00211000) libxine.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxine.so.1 (0x00b29000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0x00f66000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x002ab000) libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x00dfd000) librt.so.1 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/librt.so.1 (0x00115000) libresolv.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libresolv.so.2 (0x008b7000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libnsl.so.1 (0x0011e000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0x0082c000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0x00763000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0x003a2000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00385000) As far as a patch, it's just reversing what I believe to be an 'errant' comment # debian/tmp/usr/lib/xine/plugins/*/xineplug_decode_faad.so ( you guys certainly don't need a patch from me, I hand edited, attached one anyway ** Attachment added: "enable-faad.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36889323/enable-faad.gz -- please re-enable aac decoding with internal libfaad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496010 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
