I think AAC is the better choice but before doing more discussion on
this, I think getting an answer from Michael, Felix etc. is there any
chance of a change in IP3K.  I doubt it as development tools, libraries
and test facilities are probably archived.

That said, I think if effort was to be put into a new codec, it should
be chunked protocols such as HLS natively on Touch and Radio and in LMS
would be better for the near future.

Your BBC comment also brought to mind that this issue was discussed
previous to AAC,  then it was RealAudio (for BBC) was wanted.
