Alright, I figured it out and it's a bit funny that I was getting that error as I did not append the extension ie. ".mp4" at the end of my file name. I think file name should not be used to determine a Codec's support. "What's in a name?" .. to quote Shakesspeare here :p

I think file name should not be used to determine a Codec's support.

Yes, myself I thought also that the file name was not used to determine the codec. But several Flutter Sound users have actually problems when the file extension is not consistent withe encoded data. Specifically when the extension is '.aac' but the codec is AAC/MP4 and not AAC/ADTS.

I guess that the file name is probably important even if Shakespeare does not agree 😆

Haha well may be you could find a way out keeping both the sects of users happy. Thanks for the library tho!

Is the extension .m4a good for Codec.aacMP4 for example 'filename.m4a'?
