Problems with AAC and qtdemux

[Neil Jones]

Cheers for the replies guys,

the codec_data buffer provided in the caps looks promising ( i just
assumed this was the address of the first buffer ).

This appears to be just an address, can I just dereference this ? are
there any buffer ownership issues I need to be aware of ?

Cheers

Neil
