Ok that's certainly unexpected, as I'd assumed that the external decoder was being used by MinimStreamer just to transcode the AAC stream to L16. That is, in addition to the decoding done by MinimStreamer to reconstruct that AAC stream from the BBC HLS AAC source stream in the first place.

From what you're saying, it sort of implies that the external decode is actually dealing with the original BBC HLS AAC source stream directly and at the same time producing the L16 output. Could be wrong, though, on all counts!
