Tried manually compiling libfaac and copying it to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/
Now debian lists faac too
rem@debian:~$ gst-inspect-1.0 | grep -i aac faac: faac: AAC audio encoder ...
Now, CBR / VBR profiles are now visible in Rhythmbox ( debian ) and hence should be in Rhythmbox ( ubuntu ) too.
So, the conclusion is that bug scope is outside of Rhythmbox ( Ubuntu )
