AAC podcast can be either ADTS (which is AAC but setup for MPEG2
streaming) or MPEG4.  ADTS podcast are rare but it is same as http/AAC
streams and HLS streams in the simple format and TS2 formats.

There are two sorts of MPEG4 (and I don't mean MP4) format  - one of
which is setup for streaming (i.e. all the indexes etc are up front). 
Some AAC podcast incorrectly use the non-streaming MPEG4 format which
works if podcast is downloaded but not if it streamed - so itis case of
incorrectly/ignorently used technology which is giving MPEG4 podcast a
bad name.

SB player can play ADTS AAC and some types of streamed MPEG4 AAC
streams. For transcoding ADTS is safest.
