What stumps me is the line "found AAC codec config", while the video file contains mp3 encoding. Is that normal or my Android client is wrongly detecting mp3 as aac? FYI, other videos with aac encoding are playing okay on the client
Any clue?
This seems like a bug in Honeycomb emulator where Android wrongly detects mp3 stream as aac. FFmpeg, on the other hand, detects the mp3 stream correctly, as below
ffmpeg -i file6.ts
Stream #0.1[0x101]: Audio: mp3, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 192 kb/s
Unfortunately, Android thinks it is AAC

INFO/ESQueue(1312): found something resembling an AAC syncword at offset 1017

The workaround is to use AAC encoding. If you are using ffmpeg, use the -acodec libfaac option. This works for our project because we have the liberty of choosing the source video formats. This might not necessarily be your case though.
