aacPlus decoding is broken

Trying to listen to the radio with aacPlus results in reporting 22050hz instead of 44100hz, so the audio quality is worse

you can try http://www.calmscape.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=8 with vlc and with mplayer/gxine -- they report the audio is in 44khz and so the quality is good.

there is some info here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=293982

added Component::Decoders Severity::normal Type::bug + 1 deleted label

changed milestone to %0.9.0-final

This is a problem with faad, not with VLC.

added Status::will not fix label

closed

Here you can see the stream is 22khz, but produces 44khz float32 output.

how could that be a faad issue if other players utilizing that library work just fine?

I should have said, that it is an issue with several specific versions of the faad decoder.
