Have you tried mkv? E.g. download to m4a as above and then do a quick
mkvmerge -o output.mkv input.m4a
or use youtube-dl / ffmpeg like this:
youtube-dl -x --audio-format best \
--recode-video mkv --postprocessor-args "-acodec copy" URL
Both give me a mkv containing the unaltered aac stream and plays well
with mplayer, vlc, xine,
-dnh
