Ooops. I didn't read the code. :-) That should be fixed, though.

Nice.

Sorry. I'm a bit lost here. Did you intend to say int64_t? I think that
the abstraction layer may be changed a little bit, so that we do the
right thing (returning -1 when the function says that it will return an
unsigned int is not a good signal).

The code inside the function and the documentation should be trusted here.

I have no golden ears. :-) And I feel a bit uneasy with the lack of faac
development, especially in the psycho-acoustic part.

Perhaps we can grab some files from libmp4v2 for the sake of compiling
easytag with aac support... (Just a wild thought, knowing nothing about
the complexity of this task).

1 - The AAC files here were generated by iTunes;
2 - They show up in the playlist;
3 - The don't play.

Hope this helps to clear the situation.
