Nero offers their "AAC reference quality MPEG-4 and 3GPP audio codec (http://www.nero.com/enu/technologies-aac-codec.html)" for free. At low bit rate (i.e. streaming to a cellphone) it seems to be the best AAC encoder per some subjective tests (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec_listening_test). Is there anyway to use the Nero codec instead of ffmpeg?

No, not at the moment. You could build a different version of FFmpeg (or find a binary somewhere) that uses libfaac, perhaps that's better than FFmpeg's built-in aac encoder?
