Hi DJ, 

Thanks for your advice. I finaly get vlc running with faad decoder on amd64. 
The problem was in faad2 library itself. There is some mix (32bits ,64 bits) 
in header about integer value.  I find a patch on the gentoo bugzilla. After 
applied it the problem was solved. And also just to say that most of 
functionnality that use of VLC work fine on amd64.

Thanks to VLC develloper for this very good software.

Philippe.
