Interesting. Could FFmpeg’s AAC en/decoder not be used? There’s an explicit flag necessary to include libfdk-aac when compiling FFmpeg and it makes the resulting binary not able to be shared.

However, without that flag, FFmpeg still has (their own? VideoLAN’s?) an AAC en/decoder that works fine.

The issue, I believe, is more around the AAC patents and less around the actual library.
