So it seems that this is unsupported.
You can try to concatenate the raw h264 and the raw aac streams 
and mux the resulting streams but this may lead to A/V desync 
(that you can try to eliminate by cutting the streams or inserting 
silence but this will have to be done manually).

Please do not top-post here, Carl Eugen
