Bot FAAD and MPlayer use the same libraries so there should be no
difference in the quality of audio decode.

FAAD only decodes AAC so it is much smaller and possibly more efficient
but there is minimal maintenance.

MPlayer is a swiss army knife application - it can handle lots of
codecs and transport as well as video so it is much bigger. IT has
ongoing development so it is well maintained.

In terms of resources FAAD is the better choice - it should use less
memeory and be quicker to start up.

MPlayer may be useful for users who also use ALienBBC, AACplus and
possible WMA support for Softsqueeze.  Some users prefer just to have
one app as it minimises support issues.
