Bug Description

Binary package hint: gtkpod

The error message suggests compiling the the mp4v2 library. (However, this would mean moving gtkpod into multiverse to gain access to mpeg4ip. How does Rhythmbox handle m4a?)

Rhythmbox uses GStreamer, I assume this is how it handles m4a, but GStreamer's API is very complicated and I can't re-implement all of the MP4 code in gtkpod to use it.
In the devel list there have been talks about making the mpeg4ip discovery dynamic, to avoid two packages.
