Bug Description

The libmp4v2 library has been removed from Debian Buster:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=921127

Which means it's no longer possible to compile Mixxx with M4A support. The Debian bug mentions that "better alternatives exist". Perhaps Mixxx could switch to an alternative?

I already use this exclusively for my custom builds instead of FAAD2.
