ports/109379: ffmpeg-devel can't dynamically link to faad2

While faad 2.5,1 includes API compatability,
as I stated in the description of the problem,
the linkage that ffmpeg uses is not able to
use that API compatability.  This is because
the faad API compatability is performed with
#defines, and the ffmpeg linkage happens with
fancy macros that put together the function
names in a way that doesn't allow the #defines
to work.

(The dfaac() macro in libavcodec/faad.c
uses "faacDec" ## a to put symbols together
to get, e.g. faacDecGetErrorMessage, into
strings, which it then looks up in the shared
library with dlsym(), which never gives the
"compatability API" a chance to get in the
middle).

Were you able to get the steps in "how-to-repeat:"
to work, or did you just close the PR because
you think it is supposed to work?  I think it is
supposed to work too, but that doesn't mean it does.

I spent an hour rebuilding faad (of which I already
had 2.5,1 installed) and ffmpeg-devel (which I upgraded
from ffmpeg-devel-0.4.9.c.2006032300_4 to
ffmpeg-devel-0.4.9.c.2006032300_5) to make sure that
the bug was still there.
