Public bug reported:

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (64bit)
My libfaad2 is v 2.7-4.

This stream is from my local radio station: http://stream.wort-
fm.org:8000/high-aacp

This stream plays properly on a mac on VLC; but on Lucid it has the a
popping and warbling glitch that happens every second or so. Playing
with mplayer, totem, gst-launch, mpd, vlc (which all seem to use
libfaad2) all have the same problem. (I'm guessing that VLC on OSX uses
system-native AAC decoding?)

I ruled out the network transport layer and audio configuration problems
by using command-line tools like wget. I'm attaching "out.aac" that
contains a good squeek sound for example. Note that faad can't do
anything with this file, but the clients that use libfaad can decode it.

I installed ffmpeg, and converted the stream into a wav file, which
plays flawlessly.

"mplayer out.aac" --> <squeek !>
"ffmpeg -i out.aac ffmpeg.wav"  
"mplayer ffmpeg.wav" --> <perfect>

There's another bug #575798 against FAAD2 that may be related.

I noticed that the clicks and pops happen less when the audio is simple
(like when someone is talking rather than music playing)... perhaps this
is a clue.
