I agree with this, at 128k, you may as well have mp3, which provides good quality at this bitrate and is widely supported. As for setting up AAC+, you should use the new fdk-aac encoder with liquidsoap 1.1.1, it is much more flexible and has better quality. > 1.

Documentation is there, as usual: http://liquidsoap.fm/doc-svn/encoding_formats.html > 3. Do I need to recompile with aacplus (internal)? Depends how you installed liquidsoap. With the current debian package, you may only have to compile and install ocaml-fdkaac. Otherwise yes. a rebuild may be required. Good luck!
