AAC not played - Error from decoder (ffdec_aac)

The Elementary AAC can be playable only if it contains ADTS header.

So verify if your demuxer gives you the Elementary AAC stream with ADTS
header.

You can verify this by playing with tools like foobar or winamp.

Once you have verified this may be you need to aacparse plugin to extract
the ADTS header and pass it to the ffdec_aac plugin
through the codec-data caps field while negotiation.

Regards
Bala
