As noted over e-mail:
After installing build 1147 I'm no longer able to play _any_ AAC tracks, unless I install the AAC plugin (i.e. I have this problem regardless of whether they're protected by DRM or not, and the problem now occurs on my system even with build 1134 and earlier!) . Note that even if I use the latest AAC plugin, protected M4P files don't play.

Somehow, post beta 1 builds and/or the AAC plugin seem to have stopped AAC from working at all (unless it's somehow related to an iTunes update or some other system issue).

Based on my testing I can confirm that neither m4p xor aac cannot be played
by using f_aac.dll

1. This is somehow related to the newest update of Quick Time
2. Strange think is that by using build 1134 I am able to play them regardless of which f_aac.dll I use.

I debugged this and it fails in f_aac.dll when external function
err = InitializeQTML(0);
is called.

In function InitializeQTML() it freezes. This is an external function included in the QuickTime 7.0.4 libs. Maybe this libs needs to be updated?

Assigned to me in order to find whether a new QT libs could solve this.

I have updated QuickTime from version 7.0.4 to version 7.3 and unfortunately this doesn't solve the problem :-(

I just found out that removing d_iPhone.dll from plugin folder solves this problem.

Assigning to Jiri to fix, cause surely iPhone.dll is the root of the problem.

Re-assign to me later if you think that I should commit the updated QT 7.3 libs.

Fixed in build 1148.
 - Fixed d_iPhone.dll so that QT now seems to be satisfied and can be used by both plug-ins.
