Trying to setup slimserver 6.5.x to play aac and alac files on Ubuntu
Dapper.

Approach 1 - mplayer
The only mplayer I can install successfully is pre7try2.  The new .deb
packages fail on a lot of dependencies even with
universe/multiverse/debian-multimedia stable testing and unstable
repositories

.. will this need patching for alienbbc issues?
.. should I compile from source?  with an external faad library to get
2.5?


Approach 2 - faad2 2.5 + alac decoder
I also can't get 2.5 to compile .. I don't understand the autoreconf
and/or sed instructions.

any suggestions? 
FWIW, it was much simpler to just compile mplayer from source from my
PPC Linkstation.  It seems harder to get the setup working with my
server Ubuntu installation
