To follow up on Greg's question:

The (now anachronistically named) "livedotcom.cpp" recognizes 
"audio/MP4A-LATM" AAC/RTP streams, and tags such streams with the 
'mp4a' fourcc - just the same as "audio/MPEG4-GENERIC" (i.e., 
non-LATM) AAC/RTP streams.

In other words, the RTSP/RTP libraries and interface code recognizes 
and handles this type of stream, but it's possible that the decoding 
library ("faad"?) does not.

So, a question for the "faad" (audiocoding.com) people: Can your 
decoding library handle LATM-formatted AAC audio?  If so, does 
anything special need to be done to make this work?
