Hey! but the third-party repository isn't enable the support for fdk-aac by
default in ffmpeg...
https://github.com/rpmfusion/ffmpeg/blob/master/ffmpeg.spec#L91 . Then I can't
see a real problem here. Other, only the bundled ffmpeg in Handbrake use it... 
Maintain a fdk-aac-freeworld isn't  the death.
