@kassoulet: I think that more recent versions of Ubuntu have newer versions of the gstreamer-plugins-bad1.0 package, which include the Fraunhofer FDK AAC encoding and decoding libraries libgstfdkaacenc.so and libgstfdkaacdec.so. I'm not an expert on audio codecs, but I believe the FDK AAC codec is thought to be superior to FAAC. Might it be worth including FDK AAC as an available element in soundconverter (perhaps after checking that a new enough version of GStreamer is in use)?
