Well, just detecting whether the NeAAC* or faac* functions should be used is
easy enough for autoconf to figure out, and gstfaad.c can just #ifdef the right
ones. So versioning is not needed for that. The bigger issue is the lack of
shared object versioning, upgrading from FAAD < 2.5 to FAAD 2.5 will break
already-compiled plugins, but that's not something GStreamer can or should try
to work around.

The 64-bit compatibility overrides don't seem to work anymore with FAAD 2.5
(NeAACDecInit2 fails). It fails both with and without the redefine hack, on my
32 bit system. I'm still exploring this. It would be good if someone who knew
what that 64 bit compatibility bug was could look and see if it's still in 2.5.
