FAAC encoder gets wrong parameters or input

As pointed out in: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=180649#p180649

With certain files transcoding doesn't start because of following error: avcodec encoder warning: libfaac doesn't support this output format!

This happens when following transcoding command is used

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=0.25,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=C:\test.mp4}}

but works when audio parameters are dropped from trancode (so only audio codec is given)

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=0.25,acodec=mp4a}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=C:\test.mp4}}

Neither ab=128 nor channels=2 should make input incompatible for libfaac. Same happens also if you only use either ab=128 or channels=2. So either libfaac gets wrong parameter(s) or something bad is done to input.

Tested on Win32 using VLC 0.9.8a and VLC 1.0.0-git-20090103-0005

added Component::Stream output: Encoders label

Maybe bad samplerate on faac, but faac is dropped from default ffmpeg anyway, and so it's pretty much deprecated currently. So closing this ticket as wontfix and let's wait if ffmpeg can get their aac encoder in shape.

added Status::will not fix label
