Linux platform: splay client for AAC and HE-AAC codecs

 Hi everyone,  

 I am beginning development with the Helix DNA Client and I followed
the tutorial to have a command line player for mp3s. I would like to
have AAC and HE-AAC supported. I compiled the following splay client: 


 SYSTEM_ID= linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586
 Branch: hxclient_1_5_0_cayenne
 Target: splay_audio_all
 Profile: helix-client-local-audio-all  

 The compilation runs fine and I get a splay executable and the
following share objects:   atrc.so
 authmgr.so
 clntcore.so
 cook.so
 httpfsys.so
 hxsdp.so
 hxxml.so
 mp3fformat.so
 mp3render.so
 ralf.so
 ramfformat.so
 ramrender.so
 rarender.so
 rmfformat.so
 rn5auth.so
 sipr.so
 smplfsys.so  

  I manage to play mp3s and real media files (that I created with
Real player on Windows since I could not have the Producer compile on
Linux :(, but it's another story,...). I guess that these real media
files are using the cook codec. The problem is that my splay
executable won't play my aac files (I did not try with he-aac so
far).
My aac files are wrapped in mp4 containers (I created some with Real
Player and some with I-tunes quick-time encoder).  

 I have the following questions:  

 	*Do I need special settings for the compilation in order to have
aac and he-aac support? 	*Do I need a special licence to have a mp4
container support for audio? (or do I need to use real media as
container to play aac encoded audio?) 	*And a last question, I know
that it is possible to use ogg as a container for aac or he-aac. Does
helix support such combination (ogg+aac, or ogg+he-aac)? 
  Best regards,  

  Stéphane.  

  PS: Here is an exemple of what happens when I attempt playing an
aac encoded audio file in a mp4 audio container.   [bmwft@localhost
debug]$ ./splay -s /media/data/audioTestData/test1-aac-64QT.m4a 
 Simpleplayer is looking for the client core at ./clntcore.so
 Common DLL path DT_Common=.
 Plugin path DT_Plugins=.
 Codec path DT_Codecs=.

file:///media/data/audioTestData/test1-aac-64QT.m4a on

 Done.
