That's right, foo_faac.dll is the output plugin created by Case. By the way, nice guide!
I'll add it to the Audiocoding.com Wiki page for
DTS today.

In the Output Presets, search FAAC : MP4(LC),quality 100...from the list and click on "Edit" button to modify or change the preset. There you can choose quality/bitrate Mode...

It would be important to mention that foo_faac.dll still uses the old bitrate setting "per channel" for the ABR mode, so 192 kbps for one channel wouldn't make much sense and wouldn't work either, because FAAC still has an internal maximum limit at ~75 kbps per channel when using ABR. That's why I would rather recommend using the VBR mode at a quality of 100% or higher, because DTS is supposed to deliver a higher sound quality than AC-3, so storing a DTS->AAC transcoding on the HDD or on a DVD/CD should try to match that higher sound quality somehow which is not possible at much lower bitrates with the AAC LC profile. But if you have to use smaller file sizes/bitrates with FAAC, you should read
this thread again.
