We've discussed this and the problem arises because of the modified FAAD that's bundled with SqueezeCenter. To avoid bundling architecture-dependent binaries that are available elsewhere in Portage the Gentoo ebuild does not use that bundled FAAD and hence fails because the standard one doesn't contain the patch.
The short term fix we've decided on is to revert to mplayer for AAC on Gentoo (I'll include that in a future version of the ebuild), but look to see whether those patches to FAAD could be incorporated upstream.
