Hi,

As discussed on irc earlier, I've added the vo-aacenc and vo-amrwbenc 
libraries into the opencore-amr project on sourceforge, 
http://opencore-amr.git.sourceforge.net/.

I've got a prerelease of the libraries up on 
http://albin.abo.fi/~mstorsjo/vo-aacenc-0.1.0-rc1.tar.gz and 
http://albin.abo.fi/~mstorsjo/vo-amrwbenc-0.1.0-rc1.tar.gz. I'd appreciate 
if you'd give it a look and let me know if there's any issues with 
packaging these. If everything goes well, I'll release this version soon 
and announce them.

The libraries include small encoding apps for testing the basic library 
functionality, but they don't need to be included in any .deb at least, 
I'd say.

Patches for using them from libav are available at 
https://github.com/mstorsjo/ffmpeg.

Martin, Andres, or any other pkg-multimedia team member, would you be
willing to co-maintain this package with me?

Same question for vo-amrwbenc, which ITP will be following shortly.
