           Summary: faad renamed all of it's external symbols, gst-plugins
                    configure test for faad always fails
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins

Recent versions of faad renamed all of it's external symbols from faac* to NeAAC*.
Backward compatibility (of a sort) is provided via lots of macros defined in faad.h

However, the test that gst-plugins uses to detect the presence of faad will
always fail, because the test program produced by GST_CHECK_LIBHEADER(FAAD,
faad, faacDecOpen, -lm, faad.h, FAAD_LIBS="-lfaad -lm", HAVE_FAAD="no")
references faacDecOpen without including faad.h. Because the symbol faacDecOpen
no longer exists and faad.h isn't included to redefine faacDecOpen as
NeAACDecOpen, the test will always fail.
