it is possible to have -oac faac and bypass lavc

mencoder -oac help|grep faac
   faac     - FAAC AAC audio encoder

but libfaac (/usr/ports/audio/faac) which every free encoder program
seems to use (mencoder, ffmpeg, vlc) stopped creating valid streams
for me sometime in the last month or two. Does not seem to be related.
