I edited /etc/apt/source.list to have restricted and partner repository, but the results always:
sudo apt-get install libfaac-dev ....
....
E: Unable to locate package libfaac-dev
The package is used by audio codecs, and ffmpeg uses it.

libfaac-dev is in multiverse repository. So, you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include multiverse repository as well.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main restricted universe multiverse
After you change it, run the following command to install libfaac-dev:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libfaac-dev

This problem was KILLING me but I figured it out. It turns out that I needed to add the following lines in my /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates multiverse
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates multiverse
Meaning that, for the multiverse, you should have 4 lines in total:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise multiverse
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates multiverse
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates multiverse
