Here's the
real question: how were the ffmpeg and ffmpeg-libs *built*, if a
libfaad package isn't available in the repository?

Thanks, but not really. I'll also mention that he really, really prefer
that we not build except where absolutely necessary (like gspca for the
video device).

There's still the question: how can they build the package, if the
dependency's not there?

Is he aware of the rearrangement of the rpmforge repository?
See http://repoforge.org/faq/ (and note what is in an updated 
rpmforge-release.rpm).  Regardless, I just keep the yum repo files set 
to enabled=0 and explicitly use --enablerepo= on the yum command line 
when I want to install or update something from there.
