So ...
You can understand, now, if you need to create aac or mpa or mp4 files :
that faac works
that softwares built with it work too
that nothing inside Mageia work (libvo_aacenc is really bad quality when
it doesn't produce garbages)
that we have been waiting since Mageia exists for an hypthetic GPL
alternative to faac
that to satisfy exclusive gpl software policy in tainted repo we are stuck

What do you propose then ?
