Support a single format change at the beginning of audio playback. This way the AAC+ decoder may change its output format from what is originally encoded in the audio stream and we'll still play it back correctly.

I'm not set up to compile things for Android just yet, but I'm sure one of you Android gurus can grab the GIT and recompile AudioPlayer with minimal effort.

Nice to see they actually dealt with this fairly quickly.

Having looked at this a little more it is not as simple as I thought it was. I naively thought that this could be compiled into a single new AudioPlayer file of some sort. Not. It looks like this is actually part of the kernel.
