I think we're both at the edges of our knowledge. I' m not going to
worry about previous bugs/misconfiguration - I see the prime issue as
two caches out of sync. Last time it was fixed by clearing the entry in
2nd cache when first cache was being changed. So I'm guessing there is
code path that wasn't patched last time (or maybe a new path created
after AAC/MP4 remote streaming changes in 8.0 subsequent to the previous
fix).

I think I was wrong about audio headers but still right about caches out
of sync. 
Down the rabbit hole.
