I am running Michael's DSL-based SlimCD 1.86 on a nano-ITX board, and I
am having trouble streaming aacPlus streams off the internet.

I was able to pass the initial experiment of playing:
mplayer -playlist http://www.sky.fm/aacplus/classical.pls
That worked fine, and I could hear audio on the mini-jack of my
nano-ITX board using a pair of earbuds! Yes - that was exciting:)

I then tried editing convert.conf, types.conf, and strings.txt as
suggested on the AACplus wiki page. That did not work. I then modified
the aap statements in convert.conf to resemble the rtsp statements
found in the custom-convert.conf file in the Alien plugin folder.

That did not work either - what I get is a constant "Checking Stream"
message on my Soft Squeeze display.

At present, I am merely attempting to convert to WAVE and I am not sure
what I am doing wrong.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am successfully using
mplayer to decode AAC files. If I can get this nano-ITX board fully
functional, it is going to be very cool.

-Ron
