Thanks for pointing this out too. Both the problems were related to
AAC support, which is why I combined them in a single post. Anyway, I
just wanted to let you know that AAC decoding worked when I used
libfaad2.

I meant to refer to my previous message where I had described the
specific ffmpeg messages as follows -

>>> I also tried to convert AMR audio files to ACC as - 
>>>        ffmpeg -i ./out.amr -acodec aac -y -vn out.aac
>>> But this does not work either.

Thanks for your help and pointers.
