Looks like Gabriel Bouvigne of mp3-tech.org (how many information I got from there!) and Lame fame took interest in AAC encoder. For now I’m following his advise and trying to implement psychoacoustic model after 3GPP TS 26.403 document. It should be simple yet effective enough.
In the other news: AAC decoder mutates to become fit for FFmpeg SVN inclusion. I hope that will happen soon. Keep going, Robert, and keep reviewing, Michael!
Since you have started on the AAC encoder, does that mean the work on RV10 ( RV40 ) is done?
No, it just stalled. After I finish encoder I will return to it.
