Which version do you use?  1.1 did not compile under Linux.  Now there
is the 2.0RC1 version available, this one does compile.  But it's a
big mess, you only need libfaad for AAC decoding and faad comes with
many more things.

There were talks about including libfaad in some form into the MPlayer
sources.  Maybe it's time to revisit that idea...
