How about: faac compatibility library using vo-aacenc

[Fabian Greffrath]

Hi all,

I am thinking about this idea for quite some time but never got as far as
actually implementing it.

Do you think it is possible / feasible to develop a library that provides
the libfaac API but uses vo-aacenc for the actual encoding? This would
help applications that unconditionally depend on libfaac, e.g. handbrake,
to make it nito Debian until they are cleanly ported either directly to
vo-aacenc or to only conditionally depend on libfaac.

Is there anyone on this list who has experiences in this kind of
compatibility APIs or a concrete idea of how an implementation could look
like? For example, what to do if features of libfaac are requested that
are not yet implemented by vo-aacenc, Warn or Abort?

Please share your opinions and ideas!

Kind regards,
 - Fabian
