Re: [Banshee-List] AAC Playback?

[Patrick van Staveren <trick vanstaveren us>]

I rarely ever use it, but yes it is possible to play AAC files

I believe the module is in gst-plugins-base.  You're looking for the  
faad decoder.  As long as you have this, I believe it should work  
properly.  I also remember there being a libmp4v2 that handled AAC  
files, but I don't believe it's the backend used by gstreamer.

To check whether the faad plugin is working with your gstreamer  
install, just run `gst-inspect faad` and make sure it doesn't complain  
about an unknown element.

Anyone else have more info?
