Streaming AAC (LIBFAAC) does not work as expected, glitches, beeps, hickups

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. stream using AAC
2. listen to the stream with VLC (glitch/beep etc) or Audacious or winamp on XP 
(does not even start decoding)
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Valid AAC stream created with FAAC library

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
HEAD, Linux Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS)

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem relates to the AAC profile, which is MAIN and other streamer like 
EdCast use LOW which works as expected

[general]
duration        = 0
bufferSecs      =   20
reconnect       =   no    # reconnect to the server(s) if disconnected
realtime        = yes       
rtprio          = 3         

# this section describes the audio input that will be streamed
[input]
device=/dev/dsp # jack_auto
sampleRate = 48000
bitsPerSample   = 16        # bits per sample. try 16
channel         = 2         # channels. 1 = mono, 2 = stereo
jackClientName  = stream0 # name for jack

[icecast2-0]
bitrateMode     = abr 
channel         = 2      
format          = aac
bitrate         = 48      # bitrate of the stream sent to the server
server          = s1.vergng-gest.nl # host name of the server
port            = 8000      # port of the IceCast2 server, usually 8000
password        = oe    # source password to the IceCast2 server
mountPoint      = live

repository.

Can you help?

in src/FaacEncoder.cpp

about line 94

The aacObjecttype should be LOW not MAIN

faacConfig->aacObjectType = LOW; //MAIN;

Hope that helps.

faac stream (44.1 kHz, 16 bit, stereo, 128kbit/s) works fine for me using 
mplayer2, audacious and vlc.

Is there a reason it's still set to MAIN in the code? I have the same issues 
with VLC, and it seems like LC is now the standard for high bitrate AAC streams.
