Short answer: Since there is no official format specification, nobody really 
knows.

Longer answer: From what I have read, the aa format is a generic frame, 
containing several "tagged“ sections, where the first contains a metadata 
dictionary, and the largest section contains the encrypted audio. The current 
aadec.c code is working on this level. From personal experience with the 
official player I know the format usually contains a cover image; I guess this 
might be in one of the sections after the audio. If anybody ever finds out what 
these sections are good for and how to use them, that would be another patch 
series. I only know that it is not a good idea to try and play them, hence this 
fix to improve eof detection.

Cheers, Karsten
