Transcoding to iPod always in aac if faac is installed

Bug Description

If I select my iPod Nano in Banshee, and right click on it, and select the iPod Properties dialog. In that dialog I set Encode To to MP3, and then close the dialog.

When transcoding files, they are still being transcoded to .m4a. When I reopen the dialog, Encode To is reset to AAC.

I can work around this bug, by deinstalling faac.

Having AAC default is weird by itself, as the Linux faac encoding seems to be quite crappy when compared to lame (even though aac is technically superior to mp3).

So you're saying that faac's support is lame? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Can you confirm this on 0.13.1 in Gutsy? Better yet, if you could test it on Banshee in SVN: http://banshee-project.org/Releases/CVS.
