Hmm, the first thing we need to find out is whether older versions of
libfaad that were included in MPlayer before have this problem or not
and whether this occurs with external libfaad.  Please try 1.0pre5,
which contains libfaad 2.0 and 1.0pre4, which comes with a pre-2.0 CVS
snapshot and report back.  Also please try compiling your own libfaad as
described in

http://mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html#aac

or install the Debian package of FAAD (Marillat packages it, just ask
apt-get.org, or go directly to http://hpisi.nerim.net/) and configure
MPlayer with --enable-external-faad.
