For anyone having problems with faac and faad2, these older versions should work nicely:

wget http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/source...ac-1.24.tar.gz
tar zxvf faac-1.24.tar.gz
cd faac
chmod 777 bootstrap
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make install
cd ../
make install
cd ../
rm -rf faac

wget http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/source...2.0-rc3.tar.gz
tar zxvf faad2-2.0-rc3.tar.gz
cd faad2
chmod 777 bootstrap
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make install
cd ../
rm -rf faad2
