failed to play .m4a

[Songlin Li]

I installed cmus on Cygwin. flac, wav, ogg, and mp3 can all be played
smoothly. But cmus crashed immediately with .m4a. Here's the parameters I
used while compiling:

./configure prefix=/usr CONFIG_FFMPEG=n CONFIG_ALSA=n CONFIG_ROAR=n

CONFIG_OSS=n CONFIG_ARTS=n

"cmus --plugins" as follows:

Is this related to libmp4v2 I installed? Should I compile and enable
ffmpeg to play .m4a?

Probably something is wrong with either libmp4v2 or faad — please make
sure your versions are compiled and installed properly. FFMPEG plugin
is an alternate way to play .m4a — you can try compiling it as well
(and omitting mp4 plugin).

Sorry for very delayed reply!
