It seems that soundconverter is trying to use the gstreamer infra-structure to
do its job, not the faac program.
I'm not exactly sure if that would be a problem with the python bindings or with
any gstreamer problem, but some things that you might want to check:
* Do you have gstreamer0.10-plugins-really-bad installed?
* For this one, I'm not really sure, but does soundconverter need any python
bindings for AAC? I'm not really sure here (for Vorbis, you can see that there
are python-pyvorbis, python-vorbis and siblings, python-pymad for MP3 decoding,
python-lame for MP3 encoding etc).

Just ignore that GNOME vs. KDE issue that people tell you about.
Oh, and BTW, AAC is evil. If you can, just use Vorbis instead.
