doc/faq: remove "-profile option fails when encoding H.264 video with AAC audio" entry

The error was fixed in commit ce9bd303794fcc94aa232c116bece13c5994b55b
more than one year ago, and does not affect all the currently supported
versions.

In particular, fix trac issue #1535.

- at section -profile option fails when encoding H.264 video with AAC audio
-
- at command{ffmpeg} prints an error like
-
- at example
-Undefined constant or missing '(' in 'baseline'
-Unable to parse option value "baseline"
-Error setting option profile to value baseline.
- at end example
-
-Short answer: write @option{-profile:v} instead of @option{-profile}.
-
-Long answer: this happens because the @option{-profile} option can apply to both
-video and audio.  Specifically the AAC encoder also defines some profiles, none
-of which are named @var{baseline}.
-
-The solution is to apply the @option{-profile} option to the video stream only
-by using @url{http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Stream-specifiers-1, Stream specifiers}.
-Appending @code{:v} to it will do exactly that.
-
 @section Using @option{-f lavfi}, audio becomes mono for no apparent reason.
 
 Use @option{-dumpgraph -} to find out exactly where the channel layout is
