Hello, I think maybe I'm suffering the same bug.
I'm facing the issue also going flac -> aac
> I'm having trouble encoding aac's from my flac files. I believe there
is a bug.
I've tried the following:
$ pacpl --to aac -r -o flac --outdir /tmp /home/discord/Music/flac/
Converting: [01 - Air - Do The Joy.flac] -> [aac] encode failed with
exit status: 256
> Also note that the aacqual option does not seem to work:
$ pacpl --to aac --aacqual 196 -r -V -o flac --outdir /tmp --dryrun
/home/discord/Music/flac/
debug: ffmpeg -y -i "/tmp/Björk-Debut-12-Play_Dead.9261.wav" -ab 128.k
-ar 44100 -ac 2 "/tmp/Björk-Debut-12-Play_Dead.aac"
removed temporary file: /tmp/Björk-Debut-12-Play_Dead.9261.wav
Converting: [07 Moon 83.flac] -> [aac]
debug: flac -f -d "/home/discord/Music/flac/B52's/07 Moon 83.flac" -o
"/tmp/07 Moon 83.24947.wav"
debug: ffmpeg -y -i "/tmp/07 Moon 83.24947.wav" -ab 128.k -ar 44100 -ac
2 "/tmp/07 Moon 83.aac"
removed temporary file: /tmp/07 Moon 83.24947.wav
$ pacpl --to aac --aacqual 450 -r -V -o flac --outdir /tmp --dryrun
/home/discord/Music/flac/
>I don't know why the manual for pacpl states the default value is 300
when it seems to be 128K. As you probably already know, the -ab option
in ffmpeg specifies the bitrate.

work for me:
