For this reason VLC in Gentoo is patched to accept FFmpeg's AAC codec
(that's otherwise blacklisted) and relies on that instead than on the
native AAC plugin, that's forcefully disabled.

+ to not blacklist FFmpeg's AAC codec has been dropped. It is now possible
+ since we have a recent faad2 library and this makes us closer to upstream.
