           Summary: Playing AAC/M4A Audio Fails Painfully
           Product: kdemultimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-multimedia kde org
        ReportedBy: rorsten tartarus ca


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.3 
OS:          Linux

When playing AAC/M4A files in noatun or kaboodle, a small video window pops (it never gets painted; just a frame) and short variable length bursts of full intensity white noise (0.5 - 2 seconds, with 0.5 - 1 second gaps in between) are played.

This is on Gentoo/PPC with kernel 2.6.4. mplayer plays the same files perfectly.  This is probably an endianness bug, or something.
