Fraunhofer FDK AAC is the only decent aac encoder supported by ffmpeg,
and aac encoding is crucial for web media encodings, which are tipically
(unfortunately) mp4 with h264/aac encodings.

That forces me to compile my own ffmpeg version in order to produce web
media files.

Fraunhofer FDK AAC is already present on Ubuntu as libfdk-aac0 package.
