.caf is useful for the same reasons .mov is useful: it provides
metadata at the right time to make decoding easier.

iTunes 8 also doesn't play HE-AAC, even though QT supports it fully.
Which was a bummer for us when I worked at my college radio station,
because we had some pretty sweet audio processing cards that could do
onboard HE-AAC encoding (thus alleviating server CPU usage), but lack
of iTunes support eliminated 99% of our audience.
