ffmpeg & fdk aac

[Rob Ekl]

Thanks for your reply. With the previous version of ffmpeg that I was
using, I had set up my scripts to use libfdk_aac, described on that page as
"the highest-quality AAC encoder available with ffmpeg". I have never used
the VisualOn AAC encoding library.

Is there a reason why the FDK encoder is no longer included?
