Yes, patience.
First the issues that Carl reported against the FFmpeg decoder must be
analyzed and/or fixed, then FFmpeg one must be made default, then there's some
waiting for bug reports, then would should maybe think about disabling
both internal and external faad by default and then we're really close
to remove the actual code.
