OK I ran yum install faad2 which did an update (I think) rather than a fresh
install, and alas, I get the exact same result :-(

As for a broken compile, I'm using the rpm from RPM Fusion.  Those are
pre-compiled, aren't they?  I found this thread
http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2008-November/238766.html from
two years ago with someone having a similar problem that was trying to
handle it with compile options and had to install libfaac-dev, but that was
two years ago, so...

I don't recall any errors on installation that would suggest a problem.  

One thing is that I installed it with yum install mythtv.  I have seen
directions in other places that say to install mythtv-suite.  Could that
explain things?
