I downloaded the faad source, compiled libfaad2, installed, went to the plugins, ran bootstrap, make, etc. Now when I move the compiled plugin to my xmms plugins folder, xmms opens ok but it freezes when it plays anything (mp3, ogg, mpc, wav, etc.). Now when I move the aac plugin out, xmms works again. I've tried disabling the aac plugin in the options but it doesnt fix it....So did I do something wrong? I had to change a line in the makefile

-lfaad2

I changed to

-lfaad

Since it couldnt find faad2.

I found the problem. It's the arts daemon. Changed to OSS output and it worked. But I need to resample to 48 kHz Ah well, problem solved at least hehe.
