I've tried 3 (or 2) versions of MPD so far (off repos of Ubuntu 10.04 and 11.04 and git 0.17) and all 3 builds were able to play back .m4a just fine. I cam across this (old) post on Ubuntu forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217049 in which the OP had the same issue with m4a files but in Amarok under Kubuntu. Then, down the thread someone states that "The Amarok faq says you have to have gstreamer-faad and gstreamer-quicktime to play m4a files." MPD doesn't use gstreamer, does it?
