           Summary: configure.ac looks for wrong symbols for FAAD support
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-bad
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: piman at sacredchao.net
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Please describe the problem:
In FAAD 2.5 (recently uploaded to Debian), faacDecOpen is a #define for
NeAACDecOpen, thus the symbol is not found in the library.

Steps to reproduce:
1. apt-get install libfaad-dev
2. ./configure --enable-faad
3. Read config.log.


Actual results:
configure:30385: checking for faacDecOpen in -lfaad
configure:30415: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lfaad -lm  >&5
/tmp/ccsNVxRo.o: In function `main':
/home/piman/code/debian/gst/gst-plugins-bad0.10-0.10.3/conftest.c:50: undefined
reference to `faacDecOpen'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Expected results:
conigure.ac should check for a symbol that exists, or for either NeAACDecOpen
or faacDecOpen, as GStreamer itself will compile fine since it actually
includes the header. Is there some way to convince autoconf to make the
generated test program include faad.h?

Does this happen every time?
Yes.
