The problem with SBR AAC is that you need to decode one audioframe with libfaad2 to know if it is SBR or something else, if someone knows another way, tell me :)

I started that with looking at the libfaad2/frontend sources, because there was an example for open MP4, ADIF, ADTS an RAW ACC files, but thanks for the information about mkvmerge, so i can take a look there.
