The question was aimed at the fact thatt mplayer too has faac as depends...

As an opinion: I'd rather not want to recompile mplayer every time
there's an update, been there before because of other reason, it's not
much fun. Using mencoder to convert avis to mp4 to use on Android:
those _do_ require faac, as much as I can tell....
