faac and faad2 are an mp4 encoder and decoder, they are useful for
creating mp4/m4a files from .wav files. They are listed as optional
dependencies of a couple of packages in the book. Perhaps they should be
added to BLFS?

faac depends on faad2 being installed first. In order for faac to be able
to encode mp4, faad2 has to be compiled with mp4 support. faad2 needs a
couple of seds to be able to compile it with gcc4. The full set of
instructions that works for me is
{{{
cd faad2 &&
sed -i 's/ /\t/' Makefile.am &&
sed -i 's/NULL/0/' common/mp4v2/{mp4property.h,rtphint.h} &&
sed -i '/dd(m/ s/^v/static v/' common/mp4ff/mp4ffint.h &&
autoreconf -vif &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-mp4v2 &&
make &&
make install
}}}
For faac it's a bit simpler
{{{
cd faac &&
chmod 755 bootstrap &&
./bootstrap &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install
}}}
