Hi,

According to Microsoft's specs [1] (and after experiencing issues with the
Unified Streaming Platform [2] server), content encoded with HE-AAC audio
should use the AACH FourCC, but the value AACL is hardcoded in the manifest
generation code. So I created the attached patch to fix this. It passes
"test fate" and its effects can be seen using the commands bellow and
compatible server.

Although I tried to follow the patch submission checklist don't hesitate to
point errors or mistakes.

Yann


Sample command lines:

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vn -acodec libfdk_aac -profile:a aac_low -ab 128k -ar
44.1k -movflags isml -f ismv http://example.com/

FourCC of audio track in manifest is AACL as before

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vn -acodec libfdk_aac -profile:a aac_he -ab 64k -ar
44.1k -movflags isml -f ismv http://example.com/

FourCC is AACH

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vn -acodec libfdk_aac -profile:a aac_he_v2 -ab 64k -ar
44.1k -movflags isml -f ismv http://example.com/

FourCC is AACP
