If it adds any weight to this enhancement request for FFmpeg to support USAC / xHE-AAC there is now (as of early 2020) an Open Source encoder available:

exhale

This will doubtless result in more xHE-AAC sample files circulating in 'the wild' and a greater interest in encoding and decoding xHE-AAC (USAC) files...

I deeply doubt that.

At least it makes sence to automaticaly switch to libfdk_aac decoder (if it's present) to decode xHE-AAC (USAC) now.

Hi, is there any update on when this support would be made available?

Replying to Ajaja:

At least it makes sence to automaticaly switch to libfdk_aac decoder (if it's present) to decode xHE-AAC (USAC) now.

libfdk_aac is not compatible (or more accurately does not allow redistribution) with ffmpeg's license (with GPL, not LGPL compilation), just like openssl. So it does not make sense to make it default. We cannot.

I added another sample here:
http://abradig.org.br/xaac-sample/xaac-sample.mp4

I really think showing "Audio object type 42 is not implemented." is not a nice way to deal with the problem, as we most likely we will not have a xHE-AAC decoder in ffmpeg anytime soon... why not use the fdk-aac one?
