You have an alternative choice of:

- libfdk_aac
- libfaac

but I'm not sure if this will satisfy your license requirements.
Other than that, the internal aac encoder is quite good. Definitely
better than libvo_aacenc, and if you use it with a high enough bitrate
it's definitely usable despite being labeled as "experimental". The
only thing it doesn't do is VBR.
