Hi, just found this thread with Google...  this is what the file properties in 
foobar2000 tell about your AAC file:

bitrate = 52
channels = 2
samplerate = 22050
aac_profile = AAC LC
aac_header_type = ADTS
codec = AAC
 ---------- 
26624 samples @ 22050Hz
File size: 7 899 bytes
Length: 0:01.207

It plays fine (sounding distorted though), and due to its short length the 
bitrate might not be displayed correct. Anyhow, if you want to encode an input 
file or bitstream directly to the MP4 format with FAAC, you would have to use 
either the -w or the -o switch (with *.mp4 as file extension) on the command 
line. This only works if FAAC has been compiled with libmp4v2 support, the 
MPEG4IP library for writing MP4 files. See also

On the other hand I think that gstreamer should be able to decode plain AAC 
files with an AAC parser (maybe without), because they use FAAD2 for playback, 
the open source AAC decoder from Audiocoding.com that can also understand these 
files, even if they don't have any headers (= raw), but then with additional 
input switches supplying the missing info about used profile etc.
