An important note here is that AudioFile supports AAC in ADTS files,
not mp4a files.
mp4a is basically Quicktime.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the reply! I don't really understand how AAC exists in
mpeg2 and mpeg4, since I thought AAC was mpeg4 based, not that it
matters any since I really know nothing.
AAC was first specified in MPEG-2.
MPEG-4 adding some additional tools to the basic codec (what is called
"Low Complexity AAC") such as PNS (Perceptual Noise Shaping), and
redefined a predictive tool defined in MPEG2 that was computationally
very complex (great english!) (and was specified in the Main Profile
version of AAC), to use LTP (Long Term Prediction) instead (which is
less computationally complex, but achieves a similar result in the
encoding quality)
What I'd really like to know is the details in filling out the
AudioStreamBasicDescription for the AudioConverter AAC type...
set all fields to zero
set the type field to 'aac '
Sorry, its a little complex to explain the complete process... We're
trying to get the SDK out (but I keep thinking of one more thing to
add) that will provide extensive code to show you how to make, read,
play any file type known by the AudioFile API using that,
AudioConverter and the AU output units.
