If you use Windows for iTunes, it might be simpler to do the conversion there. Grab an up-to-date ffmpeg Windows build from:

If you decide to bite the bullet and update iplayer and ffmpeg on Fedora to to automatic AAC conversions, my random googling turned up various flavours of ffmpeg RPMs that should do the trick, if you're comfortable with third-party sources. 0.7 RPMs should have the secret sauce, and there are some "0.6" RPMs around that included changes merged from the post-0.6 ffmpeg trunk. Debian used such a build. I think we established that any merged versions dated after Oct 2010 were OK. Any 0.6 RPM that indicates it was merged from git rather than svn should be OK - ffmpeg switched their repo from subversion to git in Jan 2011.
