Basically this says that the header info was not created because of
dependency issues failling.  That's what the -d is for.  You have to
choices here, download all the rpms to satisfy the dependencies (from an
updates mirror for example) or remove the dependency check from
yum-arch.

Of course this failed since you failed to create the headers in the
above step.

I would try to install xmms-aac here from one of the mirrors, this way
all the dependencies will be downloaded for you, i.e. faad2 and id3lib
will be installed at the same time.  Where did you get the xmms-aac
package?
