This (as I'm only ever dealing with AAC_LC) hacks the decoder specific info len to force an extra 10 bytes if the track->par->codec_id = AV_CODEC_ID_AAC. And then later on where decoder specific info is inserted from vos_len and vos_data (I couldn't find where these get set - hence me doing it this way) I force these to insert the extra info required to make it think it's mp4a.40.2. This was done by comparing the esds packet from a faulty encoding and from the correct encoding. The correct encoding for mp4a.40.2 adds a descriptor of 5, length 5, and then the bytes: 0x11 0x90 0x56 0xe5 0x00 mp4info accepts this is mp4a.40.2 and so does Chrome.
Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction, and apologies that I've hacked ffmpeg purely for my purposes without finding a "proper" solution.
