Bugzilla Bug 17342

http://faac.sourceforge.net

The libfaad2 library decodes MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AAC compressed audio.  The
benefit of the library is that Mplayer can be compiled to support playing video
files with AAC audio.  These are mainly Quicktime files from what I understand.

Reproducible: Always

faad2 ebuild

Martin, maybe want to have a shot at this if not too busy ?  Or reassign if
you know about somebody with a bit more free time ...

Don't have time with the others you guys keep piling.

Updated ebuild

I have made a few changes:
filename now based upon ebuild name
unpacking now works
name is now faad2 since that is the name of the file, not libfaad2...

Confirmed that this ebuild works like a champ and recompiling mplayer
afterwards allows me to view that Matrix trailer perfectly.  Good work.

Hello.  Here's what I had to do to get perfect sound and playback from the full
matrix trailer.

(1) emerge faad2
(2) emerge mplayer
(3) mplayer -aid 2 -dumpaudio trailers/trailer_final_1000_dl.mov
(4) mv stream.dump begin.aac
(5) mplayer -aid 1 -dumpaudio trailers/trailer_final_1000_dl.mov
(6) mv stream.dump main.aac
(7) cat begin.aac main.aac > complete.aac
(8) faad complete.aac
(9) mplayer -audiofile complete.wav trailer_final_1000_dl.mov

Merely doing mplayer <filename> gave jerky playback and choppy sound even with
various parameters.  The above method works beautifully.  HTH.

perfectly works for me. i changed $myconf in mplayer-ebuild to add
"--enable-faad".

Nothing with soundproblems till now. Just had to use the 640-trailer since my
notebook was too slow. Now going to test on my WS.

great, hope this makes its way into portage

Portage now has faad2 in it...  but it is by "hannes".  I don't get why this
ebuild sat here for a month and then someone writes another one.  Bugzilla
doesn't show me any other bugs for faad2, so I'm just confused.

In other news, mplayer's configure will automatically detect if faad2 is
installed and enable support.  --enable-faad forces the support to be compiled
in even if faad2 is not present.  So the mplayer ebuild does not have to be
changed.

hiya, 
 
sorry for not looking at bugs.gentoo.org first before commit. 
I merged the ebuild i committed yesterday and the attached ebuild. 
 
i'll mark this as fixed, if anyone objects, please reopen. 

Should this go in media-video,media-sound, or media-libs?

i put it in media-libs, because it is a lib ;). i see no reason to put it in 
media-video or media-sound, feel free to convince me ;)
