No, we are not going to push nearly all of our multimedia applications 
in contrib. :/

Currently we have three choices:

1) FAAC has a CLI frontend, non-free code in the library and uses 
mp4v2 (MPL-1.1) for mp4 muxing.
2) vo-aacenc (Apache-2.0) offers a free library, but does not have a 
CLI and no mp4 muxing code.
3) ffaac (lavc) is free, probably does not offer the best encoding 
quality, has no own CLI and uses lavf for mp4 muxing.

So the best would be to port the FAAC frontend to the vo-aacenc 
library and use libavformat for mp4 muxing. ;)

You actually did the last commit in September yourself. :p
