I've been trying to create a mono AAC file with FAAC but I always end up with a stereo encoded file. Is it possible to create mono files with FAAC? I've tried feeding it mono wav files but it always turns out stereo and I can't seem to find a switch for mono encoding with --help. Any ideas?
The fact is that it's FAAC itself that puts a "2" for stereo in the 'stsd' sample description atom, even for mono files. Don't ask me why. Nero's encoder does not do it. You would have to parse the 'esds' atom to get the "real" number of channels.
