My apologies if this question is already answered somewhere on the forum; i tried to use the search function, but it gives an "expression too complex"-SQL error.
I'm trying to transcode an internet radio stream to mp4, and stream it to a mobile device via DSS on Debian 3.1.
FAAC 1.24 and FFmpeg SVN-r8205 are installed. FFMpeg is configured with "--enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-gpl". Converting an mp3 file to aac with ffmpeg-command line goes fine.
VLC is built with "--enable-live555 --enable-faad --enable-real --enable-realrtsp --with-ffmpeg-faac --disable-wxwidgets --disable-skins2 --enable-pp".
I've tried this with and without "--with-faac", which isn't in the "configure --help", but does show up on some forum posts.
Now, when i run this:
$ vlc -I dummy -vvv http://sc1.abacast.com:8105/ --sout "#transcode{ab=32,channels=2,acodec=mp4a,samplerate=22050}:rtp{dst=85.214.86.191,port=6554,sdp=file:///usr/local/movies/teststream.sdp}" --sout-rtp-mp4a-latm
I get:

After reading this forum thread: viewtopic.php?p=92612, i installed the slackware binary of VLC 0.8.5, which works. The only problem is, that it only accepts mono audio sources. If i try a stereo stream, i get:
[00000276] stream_out_transcode private error: no audio filter found for mixing from 2 to 1 channels
... even if i specify 'channels=2' or don't specify the amount of channels. It makes me wonder how VLC decides that it needs to transcode to mono...?
According to this thread: viewtopic.php?p=97615 , upgrading to a newer version of VLC might solve it, but the newest available slackware binary is 0.8.5. This means that i'll need to compile the 0.8.6a source myself, which brings me back on my original problem ("cannot find encoder MPEG AAC Audio").
Please help!
