AacFormat: Disable HE-AAC on Android <15 - #962
Merged

Conversation
The HE-AAC software encoder in older versions of Android produce unplayable files. VLC fails to play them entirely. ffmpeg-based audio players can play the files if they ignore the errors that ffmpeg reports (eg. like mpv). There's nothing that can be done about this, so just force AAC-LC for all bit rates on these Android versions. Fixes: #960 Signed-off-by: Andrew Gunnerson <accounts+github@chiller3.com>
