Hi, I tried to insert aac files (m4a, m4b) created with faac into my ipod. gtkpod always told me it couldn't find the mp4v2 library, although it was present, as it is a dependency on the aac useflag. I found the resolution in the source code of gtkpod. It searches for libmp4v2.so.0, but the softlink is not installed by libmp4v2-1.9.1. I don't know if this is a bug of gtkpod, livmp4v2 or the ebuild of libmp4v2, but creating the link solved the problem. gtkpod loves my aac files now.

That's probably cause media-libs/libmp4v2-1.9.1 means libmp4v2.so.1. AFAICT, upstream fixed it in svn rev. 2356, by dlopening libmp4v2.so instead of libmp4v2.so.1.
