Hi Markus,

Romain is our expert in "exotic" formats (i.e., other than
mp3/ogg/wav), but I'll try to answer.

The shout library that liquidsoap 0.9.0 uses for sending data to
icecast does not allow us to specify the mime type of the stream.
Hence, sending AAC is not properly supported: we send the right audio
data but the server does not treat it correctly -- or at least the
listener does not get it as AAC, I'm not sure. In any case, this is
fixed with the SVN version which now uses our own version the shout
library, allowing to pass the correct mime-type and get proper AAC
streaming through icecast.

It is safe to switch to SVN: I'd say that it is currently as stable as
0.9.0. It's a bit long to compile the first time, but it's a good
investment if you want to follow the new features, notably regarding
AAC.

Cheers,

David
