My colleague Erik Johansson implemented AAC decoding support via the  
FFMPEG plugin.

He doesn't think the patch would be considered appropriate for merging as  
it stands currently, largely because it's implemented by reading one part  
of the iTunes data atom (iTunSMPB) without any support for writing this,  
or for reading or writing other parts of the atom. But it works for us.

We could put together a patch for you to develop further if you liked.
