Still some issues:

1.) You need to set AVCodec->supported_samplerates for the encoder, since
in the raw aptx muxer you always set the samplerate as 44100. Does the
codec/container support other samplerates?

2.) "Frame must have a multiple of 4 samples" gets printed out when trying
to resample a 48000 file and encode it to aptx.
What you need to do is to remove AV_CODEC_CAP_VARIABLE_FRAME_SIZE from the
capabilities and set some sane default for avctx->frame_size if
avctx->frame_size is unset. Users can override it prior to encoder init and
you can do it through the command line using -frame_size. If the user sets
the frame_size, check if its a multiple of 4 and use it. Else, error out.
If it isn't set (e.g. its 0), use the default (1024 is a good value).

3.) The packet timestamps on the encoder side are missing. Use the
AudioFrameQueue API (libavcodec/audio_frame_queue.h) which at every frame
counts how many samples you're given via the avframe and calculates what
dts/pts to set on the avpacket.
Just call ff_af_queue_init at the end of your init function (after the
frame size is set and checked), call ff_af_queue_add at the start of your
encode function and ff_af_queue_remove with the number of samples you
encoded and pointers to the packet pts/duration fields. And make sure to
call ff_af_queue_close on uninit, which will print out an error if you've
encoded more samples than you've received or less samples than you've
recevied.
