One issue is that the ffmpeg against which mlt is built is not necessarily the same as used by the ffmpeg command, mplayer, or the xine-lib for kaffeine. They can all and often use their own copy of ffmpeg libs. Another issue is that ffmpeg does not have a native aac decoder relying upon libfaad instead. Therefore, it appears that on computer 2, mlt's ffmpeg module does not have faad configured. To figure this out, assuming you built mlt yourself on computer 2, go into the mlt source directory and look at the last line in config.log and send it here.
