Description Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-16 07:42:22 UTC 
VLC does not play AAC audio, even though ffmpeg is compiled with aac useflag.

$ vlc http://www.di.fm/aacplus/lounge.pls
VLC media player 0.8.6b-test1 Janus
[00000320] access_http access: Raw-audio server found, m4a demuxer selected
[00000323] packetizer_mpeg4audio packetizer: AAC channels: 1 samplerate: 22050
[00000345] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mp4a'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

could you please provide the output of emerge -pv ffmpeg vlc ?
and also please attach the output of:
vlc -vv  http://www.di.fm/aacplus/lounge.pls


perhaps you could also try : vlc  --reset-plugins-cache
sometimes plugin cache causes problems


Ps: Nice music ;)
Comment 2 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-16 18:48:19 UTC 
You are right. After re-emerging ffmpeg and vlc, it works.
