You can find aac test streams on shoutcast.com, for example do a search for "etn".
For example the following aac stream: http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=123&file=filename.pls (ETN aac stream) works fine in mplayer and vlc.
Hi! Upstream here! We don't have nor have ever claimed to support AAC streaming. User error.
audacious devs are jerks, i got kicked from their channel for asking why it doesn't work and requesting the functionality. It probably won't happen anytime soon.
it won't play aac files either.

You saved a stream to a file, as said before, Audacious does not support AAC streams as of yet. Report your bug upstream, as this is not caused by the way Gentoo packages audacious.
