I don't use xmms myself, but you might have to recompile xmms.

I don't have any files to test this with and I don't know what's up with the XMMS plugin, but my MPlayer seems to support faad (it should compile internally!).

Do I have to specify xmms/mplayer some flags so that it compiles with faad?

Thanks for ur time. I did what u said but now xmms gives me this error.
[code]
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libmp4.so: undefined symbol: MP4GetTrackAudioType
[/code]
I googled through for this but did not get anything useful in English.

The problem is de faad version, I tried with the faad2-2.0-r13 and works for me....

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge "=faad2-2.0-r13"

And that's it

hrmm. it would appear that it is this combination of mjpeg/aac that is causing the seek problem ... playing audio only m4a's seems fine :\

update: the aac/mjpeg stream does seem to play fine with ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20061016's ffplay
