Could it be more a problem in gst-faad (faac is more for encoding purpose if i'm not wrong)?
On a mandriva x86_64 clementine 0.4 is playing .m4a files without a problem with gst-faad version 0.10.18

This is almost certainly a Gentoo bug. m4a works on Mac, Windows, Fedora, Mandriva and Ubuntu.

Critical plugins are likely: libgstfaad.so & libgstqtdemux.so

For a while, I had this issue too (also on Mac OS).

But now with r2087 it's working for me. You should try newer builds.
