Audioconvert is not a public header in either libav or ffmpeg. What is
suppose to be used for this functionality is libavresample or
libswresample.

Does handbrake used patched versions of these libs or can it use these
libs as released upstream?

Ping Fabian. Was libmkv ready for upload?

Could vo-aacenc be used instead of faac? Also, as I mentioned in
another email, libmp4v2 should be replaced with libav. mp4v2 is seeing
less and less development and it's probably better to look into
replacing use of mp4v2 anyway.

Also next time, please leave out things unrelated to a bug in it's bug report.
