I don't think there should be other value. Most decoders require
audioObjectType value of 2 (AAC-LC), even for SBR, where the SBR is either
signaled implicitly (2 byte codec data), or explicitly (5 byte codec data,
where audioObjectType is still set to 2 and extensionAudioObjectType is set to
5(SBR) or 5(PS)). Given that implicit signaling is perfectly valid and used by
many files I don't think we need to bother trying to build 5 byte header. Not
that it affects the profile value in any way.

In theory if you know reliable way to map object type id from ESDS to
audioObjectType from AudioSpecificConfig it can be done, but since most
decoders only support AAC-LC (possibly with SBR and PS) I don't think it's
worth the effort. I think if there are some files out there that require AAC
Main or SSR they would have codec data.
