+
+ <para>This package does not come with a test suite. However, one can test

+
+<screen><userinput>./frontend/faac -o Front_Left.mp4
/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav</userinput></screen>
+
+ <para>Then, decode the result with <xref linkend="faad2"/> and play back

+<screen><userinput>faad Front_Left.mp4
+aplay Front_Left.wav</userinput></screen>
+
+ <para><command>aplay</command> should identify the file as

+ actually breaks the base functionality of the package (e.g., the resulting

+ <title>Other AAC encoders</title>
+
+ <para>The quality of <application>FAAC</application> is not up
+ to par with the currently best AAC encoders available. Also, it supports
+ only AAC, but not High Efficiency AAC (also known as aacPlus), which
provides
+ better quality at low bitrates by means of using the
+ <quote>spectral band replication</quote> technology. There are the
+ following alternative programs for producing AAC and HE-AAC streams:</para>

+
+ <para>Note, however, that iPod supports only Low Complexity AAC profile,
+ which is the default in FAAC, but may not be the default in Nero AAC
Encoder
