Install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and the necessary depends from
http://www.debian-multimedia.org
If the files doesn't play in Gstreamer-based players, first, make sure
that the plugin is installed ok:
gst-inspect-0.10 | grep faad
Then, see if the faad program (independent package "faad" from above
source) and decode the file.
Run faad song.aac and try to play the resulting .wav file.
If so, see if Gstreamer itself can play the file.
gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///path/to/song.aac
If it works so far, you need to see if the failure is in Rhythmbox
itself. Running with the debug flag, -d and trying to import the files
is a good start.
