Transcoding rule works in the cmd line, but not in subsonic

This post is related to a post I made in the general forum. Please close that thread because I meant to post here.

Anyway, I am trying to get mp3 to aac streaming working. I am using an aac encoder called qaac that uses quicktime. I am also using a program called sox. Both have been installed in C:\subsonic\transcode.

c:\subsonic\transcode\ffmpeg -i "G:\Music\iTunes\Ace Of Base\The Bridge\01 Beautiful Life.mp3" -acodec pcm_f32le -f wav - | c:\subsonic\trans
code\sox -t wav --ignore-length - -t wav - | c:\subsonic\transcode\qaac -s -a 128 --adts -o - - > E:/dsfsdf.aac

That command creates a valid aac file I can play in QT.

However, when I do:

Step1:

ffmpeg -i %s -acodec pcm_f32le -f wav -

Step 2:

sox -t wav --ignore-length - -t wav -

and Step 3:

qaac -s -a %b --adts -o - -

I get this error:

[5/30/10 3:07:39 PM EDT] DEBUG TranscodeInputStream Starting transcoder: [c:\subsonic\transcode\ffmpeg] [-i] [G:\Music\iTunes\The Beach Boys\20 Good Vibrations_ The Greatest Hits\06 Fun, Fun, Fun.mp3] [-acodec] [pcm_f32le] [-f] [wav] [-]
[5/30/10 3:07:39 PM EDT] WARN TranscodingService Failed to transcode G:\Music\iTunes\The Beach Boys\20 Good Vibrations_ The Greatest Hits\06 Fun, Fun, Fun.mp3. Using original.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am also interested in seeing if this is possible... AAC is a great format.

I plan on looking at this again, and even debugging it with eclipse if I have to. I just haven't had a chance yet.

I got "* > AAC" working today. It's not perfect, it's not in an MP4 container so this won't work with the subsonic android app.
