Summary: failure to auto detect AAC file even with --magic

Initial Comment:
a file which plays fine with a .m4a extension yields this when it has a different extension:

play FAIL formats: no handler for file extension `aac'
play FAIL formats: no handler for detected file type `audio/x-hx-aac-adts; charset=binary'

sox should know that aac is the same thing as m4a.

(1)

It's not

(2)

Files named *.m4a (and a few other file formats)
are just delegated to ffmpeg; the interaction of
sox with ffmpeg is not very reliable; you are probably better off
processing your aac files in ffmpeg directly

Message:
The ffmpeg format handler has been deprecated and will be removed from the
next release. Use
ffmpeg -i file -f sox - | sox - ...
(or avconv) to process file types not directly supported by SoX.
