Thanks for the tip. It doesn't seem to make any difference, though. I
built faad2 cvs, installed it, and built mplayer with
--disable-internal-faad. I know mplayer is using the external faad now:

bugfood at bugfood:~$ ldd /usr/local/src/mplayer/main/mplayer | grep faad
        libfaad.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libfaad.so.0 (0x00002aaaab031000)

I had a difficult time finding faad2 cvs. Am I getting it from the right
place?

cvs -z9 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.audiocoding.com:/cvsroot/faac co -P faad2

Yuck. :(

Thanks again,
