Support for mp4 /AAC codec

[fstotz]

Would it be possible to add support for MP4 files encoded with the AAC codec?

I doubt it, but if a library for decoding them exists out there with liberal enough license, I'll consider it.

I am not sure, which features would be required for the decoding but here is a repo under the Apache 2 license for aac decoding and encoding in c++

Yeah, well, unfortunately the SoLoud project is under "extremely liberal licenses", and that doesn't count as one.

"Parts of the SoLoud package were not made by me, and those either have a similar license, or more permissive (such as Unlicense, CC0, WTFPL or Public Domain)."

So I guess it needs to be the ones listed above or MIT-0 or 0BSD for Public Domain right?

So I guess the following can't be used either
