Really two questions: Do I need to compile the faad2 libraries separately to get aac en/decoding support from mplayer? If so, I just can't get over an error message compiling faad2 (2.7): c:\msys\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.2.1-sjlj/../../../../include/sys/types.h:41: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers Could only google another report of this problem under Cygwin but no solution. I'll take it to hydrogen if I need to separately compile, otherwise I guess I don't really care ... /re
