OT dapper backports

Ahem I see your point :) I think I am getting confused between back ports and 
extras. The following appeared to allow me access to a ton of usefull 
packages but since I am now running dapper I no longer use it.

## breezy-extras - the most widely used source for packages not includded in 
Ubuntu
## no guarantees on working - not enabled by default
deb http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/ubuntu-backports/ breezy-extras main 
universe multiverse restricted


I am new to the testing (bleeding edge) but I seem to be having problems 
getting some packages that I need, as an isolated problem, from 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats I quote ...


or, if you are using Ubuntu 6.04 (Dapper Drake): 
  sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
  sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-gl
  sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
  sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
  sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
  sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
  sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs
  sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
  sudo apt-get install lame
  sudo apt-get install faad
  sudo apt-get install sox
  sudo apt-get install mjpegtools
  sudo apt-get install libxine-main1

I cannot apt-get a whole bunch of these, to pick a couple of instances ...

oot at dave-comp:/etc/apt# apt-get install faad
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package faad is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package faad has no installation candidate

I am unsure if I am not pointing at the correct repositeries or it is because 
dapper is still testing and all will be fixed in time (am I jumping the 
gun !)

My sources.list is ...
