PM123's Advanced Audio Decoder

The AAC Decoder can handle AAC audio files and streams. It uses the free libfaad2 decoder library version 2.9.1 from the Debian repository.

Supported file formats

• Supports high efficiency encoding with SBR (Spectral Band Replication).
• No support for DRM protected files like iTunes.

MPEG 4 Audio (M4A)

• Read QuickTime meta data tags. (no writing so far).
• Fast seek support.

ADTS and ADIF streams (e.g. Icecast, SHOUTcast)

• Read and ID3v2.x tags. (no writing so far)
• No seek support so far if the streams are saves as file. (Seeking ADTS is not reliable anyways.)
• No fast forward/rewind for the same reason.

Hints

• Place the aacplay.dll plug-in before mpg123.dll, because mpg123 tends to identify ADTS headers as MP3, but fails to play them of course.
