AAC problems in Rhythmbox

Hey,
Im trying to set up rhythmbox because it seems to be the closest thing to itunes (the greatest music player alive).  I have it set up and can import and play mp3s fine, but half of my collection is from itunes and is mp4.  when i try to import mp4 files rhythmbox closes with the error:

symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstfaad.so: undefined symbol: faacDecOpen.

I have faad2-devel and the gst plugin installed, does anybody know what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Mike

I'm not sure about your rhythmbox woes but if memory serves me RealPlayer for Linux will play the mp4 files. You can grab the PKGBUILD from punkrockguy318's tur.

faad2-devel? hmm ... try the normal faad2 (not the -devel one) ... i guess

thanks for the help
switching to faad2 instead of the devel version did the trick.
