One potential complication: It's based on AAC, which is unfree. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding#Licensing_and_patents

@softrabbit ,

I mean support as reading the stem format. Or importing the different stems(tracks) from the audio file. Which means decoding the format which is ok I guess.

There is already https://github.com/dsvensson/faad2 which is GPLV2 which can decode the AAC.

I'm pretty new to lmms, but should this kind of functionality implemented via an "Instrument plugin" as AudioFileProcessor?

It would probably be implemented in: lmms/src/core/SampleBuffer.cpp .
