Crap. We built slightly customized mythtv packages to patch in some
config default changes, and it appears we built against (and shipped)
the livna faad2 instead of the atrpms one, because it was rpm-newer (via
an epoch bump). The livna package doesn't include libmp4ff though (which
is technically the correct thing to do, because its a private internal
library interface, and mythtv shouldn't be using it, but native ffmpeg
aac decode isn't quite there yet, iirc...)

This ought to work:

# rpm -e --nodeps faad2
# yum --disablerepo=livna --disablerepo=mythdora install faad2
# yum upgrade \*myth\*

We probably ought to just push an epoch-bumped faad2 with libmp4ff into
the mythdora-updates repo to smooth this over...
