Ok, I will do when we do have such problems again.

You are right, it's a while ago, I had to write patches.

ffmpeg2theora 0.6 doesn't compile without, so I desided to enable it. 
It's very flexible to enable or disable it by using a option for 
rpmbuild.

I've changed it in the spec, with next update, it will be inside. I 
don't want to trigger a rebuild with all the dependencies only for a

Ok, let's see. It allways costs time to test and find incompatibilites, 
time I do not have at the moment.

I've just removed libfaad a view days ago, now also libfaac?
How long will it take, to reduce BuildRequires to gcc and yasm?
