Yes, that's correct.

Sure. That's indeed the right thing to do. And the API is indeed simple.

Anyway, I have some good news here regarding handbrake: with a proper
patch that rips apart the faac things entirely, I could build, run and
even test the encoding of a video with HandBrake *without* using faac.

The last dependency is only mp4v2. Fabian, IIRC correctly, I remember
you talking with the mp4v2 upstream, is that correct? Are they willing
to license mp4v2 under something that is compatible with the GPL?

If yes, then we are even closer to an upload of handbrake to the archives.
