Yes, the "LIVE.COM Streaming Media" libraries supports both the sending and 
receiving of AAC audio via RTP, in either raw-AAC format (using the 
"audio/MPEG4-GENERIC" RTP payload format), or LATM format (using the 
"audio/MP4A-LATM" RTP payload format).

However, the code currently does *not* support the reading of (and thus 
streaming from) 'mp4-format' files (that may contain AAC audio).  However, 
if, instead, you have a live audio source that generates AAC audio (i.e., 
*not* from a 'mp4-format' file), then this code can be used to stream it.
