Have you tried mkv? E.g. download to m4a as above and then do a quick

    mkvmerge -o output.mkv input.m4a

or use youtube-dl / ffmpeg like this:

    youtube-dl -x --audio-format best \
        --recode-video mkv --postprocessor-args "-acodec copy" URL

Both give me a mkv containing the unaltered aac stream and plays well
with mplayer, vlc, xine, 

-dnh
