This bug doesn't say what the use cases are. :-(

Knowing use cases would help inform what sort of compatibility is needed.

AAC has widespread support, too, among MPEG-oriented vendors. Do the
cases where MP3 is supported but AAC not matter? As for royalties,
which is preferable: MP3 expiring sooner (and the free Fluendo decoder
available for desktop Linux) or AAC not having use fees?
