OK, for the records, I just encoded a 90 sec clip from the NTSC
Criterion DVD of Godard's "Le Mepris" with standard faac options as
already mentioned in this thread, and muxed it even without the
intermediate step mentioned above. It played back fine with QT 7.2 on
Windows XP, in both respects video and audio. So for me, it works
"out of the box".

Here the precise steps I took (Linux, only 2nd encoding pass shown):

mencoder-svn -msglevel statusline=6 -passlogfile .stats \
 -oac faac -faacopts br=128:object=2:mpeg=4 \
 -vf filmdint,crop=704:368:10:54,harddup \
 -ovc x264 -x264encopts \
-pass=2:bitrate=1000:ref=5:bframes=1:b-rdo:direct=auto:subme=6:\
trellis=1:partitions=p8x8,b8x8,i4x4:me=umh:filter=-2,-2:threads=auto:\
no-psnr:no-ssim \
 -ofps 24000/1001 -o clip.avi clip.vob

MP4Box -aviraw video clip.avi
MP4Box -aviraw audio clip.avi
mv clip_audio.raw clip_audio.aac

MP4Box -fps 23.976 -add clip_video.h264:par=32:27 \
 -add clip_audio.aac:lang=en clip.mp4
