The libfaac0 package requires libc6 >= 2.7-1 but etch only has
2.3.6.ds1-13etch8, so I've added a testing distribution to my sources
list.

Any ideas?
Sure.  Don't mix Stable and Testing.  This close to Stable becoming
Oldstable, Etch and Lenny have very different dependencies.


Ok. I am OK with moving to Lenny. Would it then be OK for me to simply
upgrade to Lenny via the below?

apt-get update
apt-get -t stable upgrade
apt-get -t stable dist-upgrade
apt-get -t testing upgrade
apt-get -t testing dist-upgrade

(I am getting this from
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-woody.en.html   - I
assume based on my reading of the apt_preferences 5 man page that this
will move me in the correct order.)

You'll have to modify your sources.list first, replacing "etch" or "stable" with "lenny".
