+<P>AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is an audio codec sometimes found in MOV and MP4
+  files. An open source decoder called FAAD is available from

+  You can download the second generation codec FAAD2 at their
+  <A HREF="http://www.audiocoding.com/download.php">download page</A>.
+  Unfortunately FAAD2 1.1 does not compile under Linux, so you will have to use
+  the CVS version. Here's how:</P>
