+It is an old problem :
+
+faac libfaac and libfaac-devel are not provided by Mageia ...
+They should be in tainted but contain a part of code that is not
+strictly GPL :
+everything is GPL but there's a 1997 copyright for
+a little part of the initial ISO MPEG4 reference code of FAAC
+
+so no faac and no rpm build with faac for vlc gstreamer ffmpeg
+libquicktime, no handbrake no cinerrela etc...
+
+There was a discuss in september 21 2011 about creating a repo
+"nonfree-tainted" for faac and faac built rpms... but it was decided to wait
+
+see bug 1730
+
+search for all bugs in bugzilla with the word faac
+
+What to do to obtain that Mageia provide faac so we are able to create
+mp4 files that are standard now for internet!
+(Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Mandriva etc... provide faac and faac
+built versions of VLC ffmpeg mencoder cinerella handbrake etc...)
