the yum output tells you exactly what is going on here.

ffmpeg needs the file libfaad.so.0.

$ yumdownloader -q faad2
...
faad2
-2.7
-1
.el5
.rf
.i386
.rpm

$ rpm -qlp --provides ./faad2-2.7-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm  | grep libfaad.so
libfaad.so.2
/usr/lib/libfaad.so.2
/usr/lib/libfaad.so.2.0.0
$

the updated faad2 package does not provide libfaad.so.0; it provides  
libfaad.so.2, and thus it is not compatible with the installed ffmpeg  
package.  your choices are essentially as follows:

* if you need the updated faad2 for some other reason, uninstall ffmpeg
* if you don't need the updated faad2, add faad2 to your exclusion  
list for yum so that you don't keep seeing messages about it
* request a rebuild of ffmpeg against the updated faad2
