Hello.

I was trying to encode a stream into AAC+ on linux, but I kept failing.
I found a free AAC+ encoder, that seems somewhat usefull, and that I'd
like to use with liquidsoap:

        http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Aacplusenc

(The official Site seems to be down at the moment, so here's just the H-Audio 
wiki)

Has anybody tried to encode AAC+ on Linux with liquidsoap?
When I try to encode it into AAC+ with output.icecast.external, it sends
data to the server, but what's coming to the clients, doesn't seem to be
audio data. mplayer fills its cache, but exits with EOF right after
the buffer reaches 20%.

Here's the portion of my .liq:

def highaacenc(_)
    "aacplusenc - - 64"
end

# AAC output
output.icecast.external( 
    restart = true,
    process = highaacenc,
    host = "localhost",
    port = 4000,
    password = "xxx",
    mount = "high.aac",
    genre = "none",
    url = "http://polemon.org";,
    description = "polemon's teststream",
    shout_raw = true,
    full )

("full" is my source up to here)

The process starts fine, I can see it running, and when I load whatever
is comming from the server at the specified mountpoint, I see binary data
coming from it, but no player seems to be able to play this.

I read somewhere about putting it into an m4a container. Do I really
need to do this? Since this is not a file but a stream, that doesn't
seem logical.

Cheers
