I have since figured out that the problem likely originates from VLC's call to
ffmpeg which calls libaacplus2 which then returns this error message:
libaacplus: bad aac setting: br:96000, AACch:2, AACsr:24000
libaacplus doesn't support this output format!
So I wonder what it doesn't like, the AACsr:24000 perhaps? or is this a
somewhat bogus error message and there is likely something else wrong in this
area?
Hope this helps,
James
My version of libaacplus2 is 2.0.2 from debian with the "-0.1" suffix which
says they disabled fftw3 due to memory leak over a year ago.

It's likely something to do with debian's version of ffmpeg and their removal
of a range of coders (like faac apparently).. You might try installing the faac
and ffmpeg packages from the medibuntu repositories. Could you also attach some
vlc logs? They can be found in /tmp/vlc.out after an attempt at streaming..

My current thinking is that I've got more than one problem causing this. So
attached are two vlc.out files, One after playing a file on my Moto-Droid,
which played fine, and one after playing the same file on my Archos 70s Tablet,
that did not have audio.
So in this case I feel the problem is in the Archos. Any idea how to
troubleshoot this further?
--------
The other Audio failure, that happens on the Droid as well, is when I try to
play "HD" stream as opposed to "SD" recorded streams. It is possible that this
failure is due to the Droid not having enough power to decode the stream. The
Droid CAN play HD content from "mythweb" which is FLV streams that I currently
have set to transcode to a width of 640 pixels. Considering the extra overhead
of running in a web browser, I would expect this not to play but at least
lowest bitrate streams to play in MythDroid.

Attachments:
The Archos will play (with sound) Mythtv content using its uPnp/DLNA interface
and a couple of different Android players. But since no on-the-fly transcoding
takes place the Archos will only play 480i content as 1080p is too much for its
screen and processor. I like Mythdroid for its choices of stream quality given
per playback event.

Libaacplus2 only supports an audio bit rate of 64kb or less. It is highly
efficient when compared to faac. I believe the ffmpeg option is -ab.

The vlc out file for the archos looks ok - vlc is producing aac (2ch/48k) audio
as intended.. Perhaps the archos doesn't support aac? You could try mp3 by
specifying a new stream command in /etc/mdd.conf - see the wiki. Otherwise, try
the new release of MythDroid / MDD and report back if there are still problems.
Also, open a new ticket if the HD streaming remains problematic..
