+You can understand, now, if you need to create aac or mpa or mp4 files :
+that faac works
+that softwares built with it work too
+that nothing inside Mageia work (libvo_aacenc is really bad quality when
+it doesn't produce garbages)
+that we have been waiting since Mageia exists for an hypthetic GPL
+alternative to faac
+that to satisfy exclusive gpl software policy in tainted repo we are stuck
+
+What do you propose then ?
