Discussions (& strategies) on getting WMA and M4A (AAC) decoding in real-time.
JonathanHull:
Mplayer and Xine both play it, and FAAD is able to decode it to wav.
Llorean:
I guess that just falls under the "Our AAC decoder is still far from perfect" clause then.
JonathanHull:
Thats what I thought. OK guess I'll just keep using the transcoded files for now.
Thanks.

Thats odd since our AAC decoder IS FAAD. Maybe you could try stripping off all tags and/or repacking the stream in an MP4 container in case the problem is with the parser.

I was thinking the same thing.
I stripped the DRM with an older version of QTFairUse, so it might not have done it right but it worked fine in Mplayer so I figured it worked.
So those files don't play, doesn't give an error and just keeps moving on to the next file in the playlist/dir.
Next I tried "dumping" the raw AAC from the file with faad and the -a swithc (I think, don't remember exactly). These files did the same thing if I remember correctly.
Next I tried repacking these files with mp4creator, and these files just crashed rockbox. However, I had some problems with it due to running mp4creator in wine since I'm on Linux. I may try booting my windows box back up and trying this again on there to see if it works better, or maybe upgradding QTFairUse and restripping the DRM.
I'll get back with my results later.
Thanks for the help.
