FFmpeg Introduces Native xHE-AAC Decoder
Quoting: FFmpeg Introduces Native xHE-AAC Decoder —
FFmpeg, a leading free and open-source multimedia framework, has announced the introduction of a native decoder for xHE-AAC (Extended High-Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding), marking a significant enhancement in its audio decoding capabilities.
For those unfamiliar with it, xHE-AAC is an advanced audio coding format that represents the latest evolution in the AAC and effectively supports a wide range of bit rates, from as low as six kbps to more than 500 kbps.
This new development means that FFmpeg now supports a wider array of xHE-AAC streams, though with some current limitations.
