$ faad -o /tmp/out.wav Music/Steve\ Martland/Patrol/01\ Danceworks_\ Dance\

generates a correct .wav file of my AAC file.  Trying to load it into rhythmbox
or GST yields

Martland/Patrol/01\ Danceworks_\ Dance\ 1.m4a 
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...

It does work with on x86. Checking the above list for differences with my
thinkpad t60 (which runs Fedora 9 too), I have

Could this be some endianness error in the AAC detection logic?

I think this problem was introduced when I upgraded my machine from Fedora 8 to
Fedora 9.
