(Speaking for FFmpeg, not any forks)
If the snippets provide advantages over the code in doc/examples,
please send your patch (against current FFmpeg git head) made
with git format-patch to the FFmpeg development mailing list.
This is also where the feedback comes from.

Hello,
The snippet I posted could provide these advantages:
1) it can easily be adapted to any audio input source (i.e: a live source)
2) it is short and written in a strict procedural way, without using any function which splits the code with the result of forcing the reader/user to jump from a line to another one in order to understand in details what's happening.
3) all the tasks are separated and all of them are exposed to the user without using functions which hide internal tasks/containers; i.e: muxed data is stored in memory and exposed through a callback function. Therefore, the user can pick specific portions of the code (input raw frame, resampled frame, encoded packet and muxed data) and adapt them to his needings.
4) it can be easily adapted to other audio codecs: I used the aac one, in the example, because it requires a container (adts), then it improves the basic knowledge of the API; but the user can adapt the snippet to mp2 codec, for example, by simply removing the container part, and he can directly write to file the encoded packets.
5) The cleanup stuff is divided into steps.

This message is cross-posted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list and includes the previous snippet in form of patches in git format-patch (Makefile and snippet files). If it will be accepted, I can provide the next example, which covers h264 encoding, muxing and streaming.
