Description:

The new vlc player will not play m4a audio with mp4 video for some reason.

Additional info:
only with vlc 0.9.9-3 is affected. vlc 0.9.9-2 work just fine with the same video.

Steps to reproduce:
Play a mp4 video with vlc 0.9.9-3.
I would try a diggnation eps for the test since thats what gave me the problem with the newer vlc 0.9.9-3.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  There is a faad2 rebuild in testing. That's why the package in extra didn't work but the new one in testing does.

I confirm
My video stream contains m4a
With 0.9.9-3 audio (the m4a) doesnt work anymore
Now i'm using vlc-git instead of the 0.9.9-3 release and work fine

I can hear the audio in http://tinyurl.com/dh9sr3 ; well, sometimes I don't hear anything but the audio stream is there, correctly decoded. In other words: server side problem. Just look at the message, codec info and media info dialogs. And try also with another player, please.
