Description

Hi
Until recently (probably approximately one or two weeks) I could mux aac files into m4a with FFmpeg and they would play OK on my (old) 2nd generation iPod Shuffle MB225ZO/A.

With latest ffmpeg-HEAD-8d02a55 the muxed files do not play.
$ ffmpeg -i foo.aac -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc foo1.m4a

They will play OK if I use a different program to mux them.
VLC media player 2.1.5 Rincewind (revision 791b550). Compiled on Jun 6 2014 16:07:36.
$ cvlc foo.aac --sout="#std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst='foo2.m4a'}" vlc://quit

My system is 32-bit Xubuntu-14.04.

I've attached some test files.
foo.aac is the un-muxed aac file.
foo1.m4a is the file muxed using FFmpeg that won't play.
foo2.m4a is the file muxed using VLC that plays OK.

Can you perform a git bisect to determine which commit(s) are likely to be responsible for the change? I don't have one of these devices to test.

Yes, that's it.
