I think this may as a result of a change in SS/SC (possibly from 6.5.3 or 4) to minimise use of socketwrapper. AlienBBC works because it is playing a stream and has its own code to handles the "types".
Socketwrapper handles the #FILE# and #FILE# is needed because standard mplayer cannot output WAV to stdout. I think SC will not use socketwrapper when playing files of "known" types. So to avoid changing any Slimserver code - what is needed is a AAC/m4a decoder which uses stdin/stdout. Answer: faad. (see http://www.rarewares.org/aac-decoders.php ) Unfortunately I don't the additional command line options to make faad work but there are some Linux entries in the Wiki such as below - but I have not tested these to see if there changes needed for Windows.
