dont forget he-aac! he-aac means having an aac stream with lets say 22050hz,
and a sbr part which contains another "fake" 22050hz, making it together
44100. this is very useful for low bitrates
afaik the aac specs define that the aac decoder needs to be able to detect
he-aac without the container signalling it, and faad2 is able to do this
already

similarily there is parametric stereo, which is a mono aac stream containing
extra "fake" info about a second channel, making the stream stereo during
playback
