It's kind of convoluted how they compile stuff with the faad2 lib, but basically-in Linux at least-it downloads the complete faad2 source, compiles it first, then compiles the plugin from a different branch from the main source in the source tree. I was doing a bit of reading too (trying to see if I can just change the source a bit to get ID3/iTunes tags to be read in xmms), and it turns out that iTunes uses MP4 format with AAC encoding, as opposed to AAC which uses MP2 encoding as a base. Doesn't really matter all that much I suppose, but I was just looking through the source trying to figure stuff out and the original author's nomenclature is just a bit confusing. -Garrett
