Hello, and please accept my apologies for the very late reply. I missed
this email.
If I'm not mistaken, m4a is the container for an audio file which is
encoded with AAC. But the Fraunhofer FDK AAC library is a proprietary
one (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AAC), so free systems typically
don't carry support for those files.
If anyone has more detailed information on the state of the art of m4a
support on free systems, please chime in.
