[11:58] <Laney> BigWhale: sure there is, installing bad should get you it
[11:58] <Laney> alternatively gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-faad
[12:01] <BigWhale> Laney, it does not. I even tried rebuilding the package and installing those didn't help.
[12:01] <BigWhale> :'(
[12:03] <BigWhale> With some help from jderose we decided that it is probably a typo somewhere in the packaging process. A typo between faac and faad.
[12:04] <BigWhale> there's gstreamer-faac.install file in debian directory, but it seems it is ignored.
[12:10] <Laney> faac is the encoder afaik
[12:11] <Laney> I found a test file on the interwebs and gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=sample.aac ! faad ! autoaudiosink works on it
[12:11] <Laney> maybe you can share your file and pipeline
[12:11] <BigWhale> wait
[12:11] <BigWhale> faad?
[12:11] <BigWhale> I was using faac
[12:12] <BigWhale> gst-inspect-1.0 faac failed to work...
[12:12] <BigWhale> because there was no libgstfaac.so
[12:12] <Laney> oh you were asking for the encoder eh
[12:14] <BigWhale> ah, faad is decoder and faac is encoder ... *sigh* their naming convention comes close to PHP, random! :>
[12:14] <Laney> faac isn't shipped on purpose, I think for patenty reasons
[12:14] <BigWhale> yeah with 0.10 it was in multiverse package
[12:15] <BigWhale> but for 1.x there is no multiverse package
[12:15] <Laney> indeed
[12:15] <Laney> I suppose someone could make that if they want
[12:15] <Laney> splits like that aren't very fun to maintain though
[12:37] <BigWhale> There has to be a way on how to do this properly.
