Re: [Muine] M4A mime detection

[Matthew Good <muine matt-good net>]

Thanks, that did it, without any reboot either.  

However, now faad doesn't seem to be working for me.  Muine plays some
garbage and the command line faad repeatedly prints out "Error: Pulse
coding not allowed in short blocks"

I've tried encoding with both iTunes and faac, but same results.
