 While faad 2.5,1 includes API compatability,
 as I stated in the description of the problem,
 the linkage that ffmpeg uses is not able to
 use that API compatability.  This is because
 the faad API compatability is performed with
 #defines, and the ffmpeg linkage happens with
 fancy macros that put together the function
 names in a way that doesn't allow the #defines
 to work.
 
 (The dfaac() macro in libavcodec/faad.c
 uses "faacDec" ## a to put symbols together
 to get, e.g. faacDecGetErrorMessage, into
 strings, which it then looks up in the shared
 library with dlsym(), which never gives the
 "compatability API" a chance to get in the
 middle).
 
 Were you able to get the steps in "how-to-repeat:"
 to work, or did you just close the PR because
 you think it is supposed to work?  I think it is
 supposed to work too, but that doesn't mean it does.
 
 I spent an hour rebuilding faad (of which I already
 had 2.5,1 installed) and ffmpeg-devel (which I upgraded
 from ffmpeg-devel-0.4.9.c.2006032300_4 to
 ffmpeg-devel-0.4.9.c.2006032300_5) to make sure that
 the bug was still there.
