Here 'tis.  One obvious thing is that the installed libs are libfaad.so.2
whereas the frontend seems to be looking for libfaad.so  I installed faad2
because that's the only faad library they listed at RPM Fusion.  Also
belcampo thinks these should be in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, whereas they
seem to be in /usr/lib64.

[root at mythtv lib]# rpm -qa | grep -i faad
