Summary: I want an mp4 file with stream 1: H.264 video, stream 2: 2-ch AAC audio, stream 3: 6-ch AC3 audio. I am modifying the default MP4 High Quality profile.

Got handbrake working with:

handbrake-audio=-E faac,ffac3 -R auto -B 384
handbrake-audioac3=-E faac,copy:ac3
handbrake-AudioOptimized=true

Got ffmpeg working with:

ffmpeg-audio=-map 0:1 -map 0:1 -c:a:0 aac -ab 192k -ac 2 -c:a:1 ac3 -ab 192k
ffmpeg-audioac3=-map 0:1 -map 0:1 -c:a:0 aac -ab 384k -ac 2 -c:a:1 copy
ffmpeg-AudioOptimized=true

This is the basic construct, you can modify as appropriate. Refer to the Advanced Commands documentation and Profile Basics documentation to understand the differences between audio and audioac3
