[vlc] VLC 0.7.0 for xscale with MPEG4 support

[Kausik Sinnaswamy]

Hello All
    I successfully built VLC 0.7.0 for Intel's PXA-255(XSCALE based)
processor with MPEG4 support. I have enabled both MPEG4 video through
ffmpeg and MPEG4 Audio decoding using FAAD2.
    However, when I try to play an ".mp4" file(consisting of MPEG4 Video
and AAC audio), I am able to see the Video just fine, however there is
no audio. I enabled "--verbose 2" option, and then I observe "main audio
output warning: PTS out of range, dropping buffer"
    I am aware that FAAD2 uses Floating Point arithmetic, and  hence I
enabled "-DFIXED_POINT" in CFLAGS, but I am still unable to hear the
audio. I have also enabled "-DFIXED_POINT" and "cpu=arm" for ffmpeg,
    I am using the latest version of "FAAD2" from "www.audiocoding.com"
and ffmpeg-cvs-2004-02-16 for ffmpeg.

    I would like to know if anyone has successfully been able to play
MP4.

Any help in this regard would really be appreciated.

Thanks
- Kausik
