Gstreamer AAC/M4A support in Etch
Hi, I've got a fresh installation of etch, and I have about 4000 songs encoded in m4a files from iTunes. I'm in the process of moving as much as possible to free formats, but I don't have access to my CD collection right now, and I don't want to transcode everything.
As I recall, there is an AAC decoder in gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly (at least there was in Ubuntu), but my m4a files won't play in Rhythmbox. They do play in Totem, which I think uses xine.
Anyway, does anyone know how to enable AAC playback in Gstreamer?

gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is also in debian. It should work....

I've got base, good, bad and ugly installed. To make sure it wasn't just Rhythmbox, I got rid of totem-xine and installed totem-gstreamer, and tried to play a file in totem, which didn't work either.
Does Debian pull codecs out of the packages if they don't like them? The only thing in non-free is win32dll or whatever.
Has anyone gotten Gstreamer playback of AAC files to work on etch?

you need to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-really-bad (yes, that is the name). You can find it at http://www.debian-multimedia.org/
