How to encode with AAC High Efficiency?

I can't figure out how to use ExtAudioFile to output AAC HighEfficiency (aka AAC+). I'm using the ConvertAudio sample code to test with. If I use the command-line flags "-d aach -f m4af" (corresponding to the constant kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC_HE) the program throws an exception and aborts. If instead I use 'aac ' or 'aacl', it works fine.

The error comes from this call in utils.cpp:
err = AudioFormatGetProperty(kAudioFormatProperty_FormatInfo, 0, NULL, &size, &outputFormat);
If outputFormat.mFormatID has been set to kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC_HE, this function returns the error 'fmt?'.


I've searched apple.com for AAC "high efficiency" but didn't find anything useful, only some messages from a few years ago indicating that QuickTime didn't support it. But that was before Leopard, and of course QT != CA.
