The problem is the following:
1. faac cannot go into main (see 2 & 3)
2. faac cannot go into tainted (it is not free software)
3. faac cannot go into nonfree (patented in some countries)
so we only have 2 options:
A. ban faac and use the AAC encoder(s) we already have in mageia
or another one that can go into tainted
B. add a special repository for faac
I prefer option A and I patched a gstreamer based video encoding app to
use vo-aacenc instead of faac a while ago.
