I feel like the switch from FAAD to FDK-AAC was a bit hacky and that DReaM is not up to DRM standards either. Check this source file in which the getFrame function accepts a crc but is not even checked. http://svn.code.sf.net/p/drm/code/branches/dream-rafa/src/MSC/xheaacsuperframe.cpp

I released an update last night. It might support as low as Windows 8.1 now (even though it was built on Windows 7 it won't run on it, lol). I also added more codec support (opus, speex and libsndfile). The build may also been slightly more stable as I realized some of the library SDKs were mismatched with the first release. Check the reddit post for the update. :)

How much signal do I need the get decoding started? About as much as Dream 2.1, 15dB+

I'm not sure if the new fdk-aac decoder is actually up to DRM standards yet.

I believe this has to do with the error handling (or lack thereof) of the new AAC decoder. When it recieves a corrupt frame, it crashes instead of trying to recover. This is one thing I hope I'm able to address when I can actually debug it and make it crash when the debugger is running. Haven't had much time to mess with it, nor luck when I did have time.

If DReaM is identifying the signal and you are sure its coming in over the virtual cable (mute SDR and make loud noise into your mic to verify its not using mic), then I would not worry about what it is displaying as the input device, its likely a cosmetic issue.

Do not put the wpcap and packet dlls directly in the folder with my build. simply install npcap as normal, the application will find it in the system folder. All you have to do in Dream 2.1 is choose your INPUT sound device, for some reason changing the input will crash 2.2, but you can change the output. Or if your Dream 2.1 works on normal AAC, just copy that Dream.ini into the folder with the new dream. Also, for the record, when installing applications without an installer (such as my RAR) it...
