This is anything to do with faad that I installed
ii  faad                                                  2.7-8
ii  gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-faad:i386                    1.2.3-1ubuntu2
ii  libfaad-dev:i386                                      2.7-8
ii  libfaad2:i386                                         2.7-8

This is the important part of the configure script:

dnl Check for faad for use filetype_m4a plugin
dnl -------------------------------------------------------------
have_faad="no"

AC_CHECK_PROG(FAAD, faad, yes, no)
if test "x$FAAD" = "xyes"; then
        have_faad="yes"
else
    AC_MSG_WARN(["Cannot find faad. Conversion from m4a to mp3 not possible"])
fi

Its looking for the actual binary 'faad', which gets installed to /usr/bin and belongs
to the faad package.

I have pushed the gstreamer upgrades to the repository. Are you using the sf updated git
repo?

This is the latest commit:
