libfaad.so.0 errors on AAC audio playback in 8.04 Hardy

[dlinvill]

Binary package hint: mythtv

On 8.04 with the release 0.21 packages I am getting an error playing mp4 videos that have AAC audio.

There seems to be a problem with mythtv loading the the Hardy libfaad library.

When trying to play a video with the internal player or when trying to commflag on I get the following error repeated before the frontend or mythcommflag segfaults:

2008-03-11 12:37:34.920 [mpeg4aac @ 0xb73fa288]FAAD library: cannot resolve faacDecGetErrorMessage in libfaad.so.0!

If I run this on a Gusty system the video plays or commflags fine. If I use LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/gusty/libfaad/ to run mythfronend on the Hardy system The videos play and commflag fine without errors.

A (legal) sample video is here (10Megs) : http://feeds.theonion.com/~r/OnionNe...t_redirect.mp4

    mythcommflag --video 200_KIDNEYS_ITUNES.mp4

gives:

    ... repeated errors...

    Segmentation fault (core dumped)

running with the library set to overload with a gusty libfaad:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/mythtv/gusty-libfaad.s.0-copied-from-other-system/ mythcommflag --video 200_KIDNEYS_ITUNES.mp4

lets the video commflag properly. And the video plays successfully with audio.

On gusty I have libfaad2-0 installed. On hardy that package is a dummy package that has been replaced by libfaad0.

My suspicion is that this is caused by libfaad-bin in our build flags. I'll do some experimentation.
