CLI QuickTime AAC/ALAC encoder

README

qaac - CLI QuickTime AAC/ALAC encoder

Notice(2024-12-21)

It turned out that CoreAudioToolbox 7.9.8.x or greater (upto 7.10.9.0, the latest version at the moment) can produce glitches on the encoded result.
The issue is only found on AAC CBR mode.

CoreAudioToolbox 7.9.7.x is OK, but you need very old iTunes installer for that version (it's released on 2012).
