AAC+ support for starters. It was lack of this specific feature that
compelled me to roll my own [Ice|Shout]Cast client support.

Historically, there appears to have been significant reluctance on the
part of the libshout maintainers to adopt this feature. See, for
example:

However, if the maintainers are now willing to accept a PR that adds
AAC+ support, I would be glad to submit such.

Cheers!
