I don't have many AAC files, but those that I have are played by MediaBox.

Essentially, there are two ASCII text files for file recognition in MediaBox.
/usr/lib/mediabox/mimetypes.mapping (need to be root to edit) contains the mapping of file extensions to MIME types and a more general name.

/home/user/.mediabox/players.mapping (overrides /usr/lib/mediabox/mediaplayer/players.mapping) determines which backend is used for which media type. This file gets written when changing the media backend settings in the preferences viewer.

Both files can be edited by hand, too. But this requires to restart MediaBox.

mimetypes.mapping currently says:

Code:

audio/mp4                             .aac,.m4a           MP4-Audio      A

for AAC. Files with extension .aac are recognized as MP4-Audio, which is then
mapped to the osso-media-server in players.mapping by default:

Code:

MP4-Audio                      oms
