Non-free software is enabled by default on Ubuntu, so IMO there's no reason to keep it disabled (and fdk-aac has a nice quality). Linking statically against x264-10bit is not a nice solution, but I wouldn't know a good alternative. Maybe using an rpath in the library or renaming the 10bit library to something like libx264-10bit.so.142? Instead of adding the x262 and x264 code to the VLC source you could add additional static libraries compiled with -fPIC to the -dev packages. BTW why exactly is fdk-aac considred non-free? To me it seems like a typical FOSS.
