Just dropped faac support from the mythtv spec in my local tree, doing  
a local sanity-check build, will then commit it.

In semi-related news, mythtv 0.22 is supposed to be released this  
week. Will push packages for f10 and f11 to updates-testing right  
after the release is cut. The forthcoming rawhide build should be  
pretty damned close to what ends up 0.22.
