looks like that a stray "is" was left while I was rewriting the 
sentence, sorry.

Anyway:

- in order to produce the sdp lines for aac we need the aac extradata.
- adts stream do not provide extradata
- the bsf filter to reformat aac to asc would provide the extradata.
- because how bsf works in the extradata would be updated once it starts 
to output packets.

ffmpeg -i s.aac -acodec copy -absf aac_adtstoasc -f rtp rtp://l:port

Won't work even if it should.

To fix it the simplest way would be having the av_find_stream_info aware 
of the bsf in use so they will be called at the same level of the 
parsers, giving a consistent result.

Clearer now?
