I have an ipod nano, and some months ago I was able to use ffmpeg to
convert video to mp4 with an aac audio stream. I can still do it on my
Etch system, but with my unstable system, I can't find the necessary
libfaac library to make it work

Having made my mp4 video (on the Etch system), I try and load it into my
ipod with gtkpod, and its refusing to load it saying it can't handle
the file type.

I certainly used to be able to. Has something changed recently

According to apt-file, libfaac.so.0 is in the package libfaac0, and
libfaac.a and libfaac.so are in libfaac-dev (this is in sid).

According to

curl -s ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/{main,contrib,non-free}/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 | bunzip2 | grep faac

this is not in sid. Could you check your apt-file database and your sources
and confirm?

It is available from debian-multimedia. The version of ffmpeg from the
same source depends (indirectly via libavcodeccvs51) on libfaac0, so I
would assume that it still supports AAC. (I did not test this.)
