Today I finally looked into why this may be happening. Now, as best as I can tell the way to enable this is to install faad2 with the xmms USE flag set, which I did have. Indeed, the needed plugins were in /usr/lib/xmms/Input/ Just for giggles, I re-emerged faad2, as the plugins were dated from before it stopped working, and it updated/rebuilt: /usr/lib/xmms/Input/libmp4.so /usr/lib/xmms/Input/libmp4.la /usr/lib/xmms/Input/libmp4.a However, when looking at the input plugins tab in xmms preferences, they don't even show up. The Flac, Vorbis, cdaudio et al plugins in the same directory do show up. Does anyone have an idea here? Is it a faad2 bug, xmms bug? Am I missing something?
