Hm, with -o - I got MP4 piping is not supported. Strange, why?

qaac 2.64
Usage: qaac [options] infiles....

"-" as infile means stdin.
On ADTS/WAV output mode, "-" as outfile means stdout.

As is written in help message, "-" as outfile is not supported for MP4 output. (MP4 output requires seeking, and you can't seek on pipe)

Hm, this is sad that I will need to write aac to SSD and read it from SSD for uploading to S3 :(
