I assume this is something doing unaligned multibyte reads? It's quite possible that this is something in avidemux - not exactly a bug, but code that could be improved. If you can fix it, we'd certainly include your patches in future versions. > > [We use Gst-omx decoders below which are calling ffmpeg for decoding, > ffmpeg has been hardware accelerated]. > > 2.

Do not use that. mp3parse is the appropriate element for parsing mp3 bitstreams.

No. Currently, I don't think there's a raw AAC bitstream parser in gstreamer. If you could contribute one, that would be very welcome - quite a few people have asked for it. Basing this on mp3parse might be a good idea - there's probably lots of things that would be similar.
