Adam, the produced AAC file are correct in the sense that a compliant
decoder is able to decode them. It's rather that the encoder's quality
is poor.

I don't see how a low quality encoder is better than none at all.  We
could add a warning message, though.

** Package changed: ffmpeg (Ubuntu) => libav (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- ffmpeg mangles sound
+ AAC encoder produces low-quality output

** Changed in: libav (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** Changed in: libav (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
