I recommend using testing and unstable from livna.

There are some libraries in testing and unstable that are not in  
stable, that doesn't necessarily mean they don't work well enough -  
faad2 in my experience does work well, for example. faad2 is a library  
for aac decoding, needed for the gstreamer plugin for aac playback in  
totem, or for the xmms plugin for aac playback in xmms.

mjpegtools is another library in unstable - works fairly well for me, I  
have come across mpeg files that will not properly play with software  
that uses mjpegtools in the past, maybe that's why it is in unstable -  
but it works for vast majority of the ones I have come across.
