Currently running OpenMandriva Lx with VLC 2.1.4, installed from package. VLC will play .mp4 video but says there is no suitable decoder module for .mp4a audio. I have libfaad installed but I see no way to enable in in VLC. Also, cannot find the vlc common or faad plugin anywhere. Anyone have any ideas on how to enable this?
I've always used MPlayer, this was my first time with VLC. I only tried it because with my previous distro MPlayer flat out refused to play DVD's and VLC did with this distro. Then I discovered MPlayer did too, so that was that.

Got it-
VLC can be a little tricky to get working after a fresh install.
I had audio but no video.
I had to go to Tools> Preferences> Video and set the output to X11 video output (xbc)from that point on VLC has worked like a charm for me.
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

As a MPlayer user you may already be aware of SMPlayer?
