Before we get too far down the licensing / patents / legality / etc
discussion, it's worth noting that faac is basically redundant in
ffmpeg these days anyway, as libavcodec contains ffmpeg's own
reimplementation of both an encoder and a decoder of AAC, just called
"aac" in the output of "ffmpeg -codecs".
