I am not familiar with it at all! :) I just did some googling now, and
it seems you need to have faac and faad enabled for ffmpeg. 
run:
ffmpeg -fflags
and that should show the configuration (dont know if that is what that
option does originally, but it shows the configuration and an error,
ignore the error), check if the output contains something like
--enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad ,i think ffmpeg in ubuntu is compiled
without aac, I don't know if it's avaiable in some other repo with aac
enabled, or if you have to recompile with aac flag.

also make sure f libfaac and libfaad are installed on your system,
(search using synaptic).

Peace,
